In terms of support, everything you need is in regional Victoria

Ultimately, peace-of-mind is what you’re looking for when moving from the city to Regional Victoria. A large part of which involves knowing that all the necessary services and infrastructure you’re used to will still be available.

Some of those concerns will be about the absolute essentials, such as health care. Will there be adequate doctors, dentists, physios and so forth in your region? Where are the main hospitals? What are maternity services like? Other concerns will be about the everyday needs of modern life. What sort of internet connection is available? How is the public transport system? What social opportunities exist for my particular sport or hobby?

Of course, the answers will differ depending on where you are and what your individual needs are. That said, hospitals in major regional centres are excellent, and the NBN is reaching new communities every day. Regional Victoria continues to benefit from significant government investment to develop and grow its infrastructure and support services.
