NDCH provides medical care, mental health support, chronic disease management, youth programs, and community outreach initiatives to foster vibrant, healthy communities while providing rewarding career opportunities for passionate professionals.

Together, NDCH’s team members work to provide critical community health and preventative care services and support for rural communities. NDCH’s connection to local communities, coupled with our partnerships with regional health and community services, is what allows us to improve the health and wellbeing of people in the Loddon Mallee region.

At NDCH, we are driven by core values that shape our every action. We strive to cultivate a workplace where courage, inclusivity, and unwavering commitment are not just ideals, but integral to our daily operations.
