Celebration of health and connection

Celebrate health and strengthen connections at the Health Festival of Geelong. (supplied)

No matter where we live, healthcare touches every one of us.

Around the globe, health systems are under pressure – populations are growing, new technologies are emerging, and the ways we receive care are constantly changing.

For both health professionals and community members, this can sometimes feel overwhelming. What many of us long for is simple: clearer communication, easier access, and stronger connections between people and those who care for them.

This year, the Health Festival of Geelong will bring together people from across the region for a day of connection and discovery.

Ollie Dempsey, the high-flying Geelong Cat, is stepping forward as this year’s festival celebrity ambassador, inspiring the community to reconnect, learn, and celebrate health together.

Together, let’s celebrate health, strengthen connection, and build a healthier Geelong.
