A new era of community health

Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health and Nexus Primary Health have announced the name and logo of their soon-to-be merged organisation – Omnia Community Health.

Developed through consultation with SCCH and Nexus staff, clients, community members and partners, the merged identity focuses on the organisation’s combined purpose; to help the community feel healthy, connected and supported through trusted, local care.

Chief executive David Wild said the announcement marks an exciting and important milestone in the merger.

“We consulted broadly to understand how our new brand should reflect the care and connection we deliver every day,” he said.

“Omnia Community Health represents our shared vision to be the trusted local health partner for

our communities, one that empowers people to live well through care that’s inclusive, connected and grounded in local relationships.”

Derived from the Latin word for ‘all’ or ‘everything’, Omnia said the new name reflects its commitment to providing inclusive, comprehensive, and connected care for everyone.

Omnia said it also symbolises unity, collaboration, and the belief that everyone deserves access to quality health and wellbeing services.

“Nexus Primary Health and Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health are coming together to create a more resilient and connected community health service for our region, and Omnia Community Health’s logo captures that beautifully,” Mr Wild said.

“We look forward to delivering better, more connected healthcare for our communities into the future.”

The new name will officially launch on 1 January, when the two organisations formally merge and form Omnia Community Health.
