Safer Care Victoria (SCV) is proud to deliver the Clinicians Health Channel (CHC), supporting Victorian public health professionals to access trusted and evidence based information at the point of care, wherever they work.
Established in 2001, the CHC is an important clinical portal supporting equity and access across the Victorian public health systems. Health professionals can access a comprehensive suite of resources, including clinical guidelines, medicines information, evidence summaries, research databases, mental health resources, and point‑of‑care decision support tools.
You can access CHC resources via the CHC resource portal or through your local workplace library or intranet. Creating a CHC user account enables eligible staff to access clinical resources offsite while not connected to local health service networks.
