Welcome
The Victorian Nurses Health Program is an independent support service for nurses and students of nursing experiencing health issues related to substance use or mental health problems.
We provide sensitive and compassionate screening, assessment, referrals, individual support sessions and groups for nurses seeking help to manage these health concerns.
We believe that early intervention is the best way to address health problems and encourage nurses to contact us to discuss how we can best help.
We also welcome contact with managers and HR personnel regarding supporting nurses experiencing these health issues.
Confidentiality
The VNHP values participants confidentiality and unless compelled by law or with consent the names of participants are not divulged to anyone. The program complies with the privacy act and we conduct it with the utmost discretion.
Anonymous enquiries are welcome and can be attended to without the requirement of the caller identifying themselves.
