Victorians can soon access free naloxone from 20 dispensing machines across the state, improving 24/7 access to free naloxone in busy and accessible locations.

One million calls have been made to the Virtual Emergency Department, meaning more Victorians than ever are accessing free, round-the-clock urgent care.

As the Victorian Public Healthcare Awards celebrate their 20th year, they continue to provide an opportunity to share achievements, recognise contribution and highlight the work taking place every day across the state's public health system.

People can access naloxone dispensing machines at 17 locations across Victoria. This means more sites across Victoria can provide naloxone when and where people need it.

The Victorian regulations supporting Designated Registered Nurse (RN) Prescribing have been gazetted.

Victorians are being encouraged to prepare early for the health risks that can come with changing weather this spring and summer.
