Initially established in 2010, regional sector support roles, now known as the Eastern Sector Development Team (ESDT), were implemented by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services to support the Victorian Home and Community Care (HACC) program. The scope of these roles changed over time and currently we support local Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) in the eastern metropolitan region of Melbourne. We work together to share good practice that promotes inclusive access and person centred care.
The key objectives of the ESDT are to:
We meet with the regional sector bi-monthly and encourage the involvement of senior management, program leaders, clinicians and program staff from across the region.
In addition to the regional practice forums, we recommend providers build their capacity through other ESDT resources and collaborative opportunities promoted via the ESDT website and YouTube channel.
To learn more about the work of the ESDT please feel free to read the EMR Alliance discussion paper, which documents the journey of the ESDT and their work with the region, through the establishment of the EMR Alliance. The Discussion Paper provides information about the establishment of the EMR Alliance; its structure, key activities and achievements, benefits and challenges, key enablers and the vision for the EMR Alliance moving forward.
