51³Ô¹Ï

A collaborative project from three community organisations across the City of Yarra including, cohealth, Access Health and Community, and North Richmond Community Health, who all seek to provide high quality primary and preventative community health care for residents of the City of Yarra, most importantly including those in social housing.

Each organisation, being committed to the wellbeing of their communities and identifying that social housing tenants in the City of Yarra comprise 9.5% of households and are more vulnerable to multiple health conditions compared to those residing in non-social housing, have collaborated on this project. In partnership with 51³Ô¹Ï, cohealth, Access Health and Community, and North Richmond Community Health aim to understand how a co-designed Interprofessional Student-Led Allied Health (ISAH) service can improve health for residents in social housing.
