Communities across the Hume, Macedon Ranges, Mitchell, Murrindindi and Strathbogie local government areas will now benefit from the launch of Omnia Community Health, a new organisation formed through the merger of Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health and Nexus Primary Health on 1 January 2026.
Bringing close to 50 years of trusted local care under one new name, Omnia Community Health will offer more services, stronger connections and greater reach, while continuing to deliver the personalised, community-led support local people rely on.
With sites at Broadford, Kinglake, Kyneton, Romsey, Seymour, Sunbury and Wallan, thousands of people will continue to access high-quality, inclusive and accessible care close to home. Services span primary healthcare, allied health, mental health support, family and youth programs, aged care, health promotion and LGBTIQA+ support.
Chief Executive Officer, David Wild, said the launch of Omnia Community Health marks an exciting moment for healthcare in the region.
“Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health and Nexus Primary Health have come together to build something stronger – a service that brings our teams and communities closer together.”
“Omnia Community Health has been shaped by months of listening, planning and collaboration with our staff, clients, community members and partners. Their insights are reflected in our new identity, one built on care, connection and trust.”
Derived from the Latin word for ‘all’ or ‘everything’, the name Omnia reflects the organisation’s commitment to providing inclusive, comprehensive and connected care for everyone, regardless of where they live or what support they need.
“Our focus now is ensuring a smooth transition, with no disruption to the services people rely on every day,” Mr Wild said.
“While our name has changed, the heart of community health remains the same. Omnia Community Health will continue to honour the deep local roots and legacies of both founding organisations, driven by the same commitment to compassion, equity and high-quality care.”
