Alliance of Rural & Regional Community Health

Addressing health inequity in rural and regional Victoria

ARRCH provides health and wellbeing services across 187,022 km2 or 82.5% of Victoria.

ARRCH, the Alliance of Rural and Regional Community Health, was formed by a group of 11 community health Chief Executive Officers, committed to improving the health and wellbeing of their communities.

The focus of ARRCH is to reduce health inequity in rural and regional Victoria by addressing the social determinants of health.

Each of ARRCH’s community health organisations is an expert in the social determinants of health, a specialist in rural and regional health service delivery, and a service provider deeply connected and invested in its local community.
