SEPHU is led and coordinated by Monash Health and was established initially to strengthen the public health response to COVID-19 through end-to-end contact tracing and outbreak management, community engagement, screening and vaccination. SEPHU has since evolved to enable the integration of care and public health functions, whilst enhancing the ability to rapidly respond to communicable disease notifications and outbreaks and infection prevention issues. SEPHU covers a catchment area with approximately 1.8 million people across eleven local government areas.
