The website, careforourregion.com.au, aims to provide information on how the new health service entity can better deliver services, health care and careers.

This will include ongoing dialogue with staff, one-on-one discussions with organisations and representative groups, and regular and direct communications to keep the community informed.

Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital board chair Phillip Sabian said the website would contain up-to-date information about the proposed amalgamation.

"The new Care For Our Region website provides a central hub for our community to get accurate, up-to-date information about the proposal," he said.

"We hope this will give our communities a greater understanding of where we have come from, the need for this change and the benefits of the proposal."

This comes after preliminary results from a health service survey indicated Wimmera participants were looking for more information before supporting a health service amalgamation in the region.

Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital, Stawell Regional Health, Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services currently service the healthcare needs of more than 250,000 Victorians. Between them, they employ more than 6,304 people at 21 campuses and sites.

Wimmera Health Care Group board chair Marie Aitken said the website would be an opportunity for discussion about the proposal.

"The Care For Our Region website outlines the community engagement already undertaken, while also giving everyone another opportunity to have their say," she said.

"We are eager to learn about the gaps in our services and how we might improve to deliver better services for all."
