Direct peers

• Echuca Regional Health: Regional Victorian public health service providing acute, sub-acute, maternity (with birthing), aged care, community and allied health services. Comparable in service mix to CDH but slightly larger scale; a formal maternity referral partner.
• Boort District Health: Small rural Victorian public health service in the Loddon Shire providing acute, aged care, urgent and community services. Highly comparable small-rural operating model to CDH within the broader Loddon Mallee region.
• Kerang District Health: Small rural Victorian public health service located ~33km from Cohuna, providing acute, urgent, aged care, community and allied health services. Highly comparable in scale and service mix to CDH within the same Loddon Mallee catchment.
• Swan Hill District Health: Small rural Victorian public health service operating Swan Hill Hospital and a 16-bed aged care facility, providing acute, urgent, maternity, surgical, haemodialysis and community services comparable to CDH. A formal maternity referral partner, making it a near-perfect operational analogue.
• Rochester and Elmore District Health Service: Small rural Victorian public health service in northern Victoria providing acute, aged care, urgent and community services. Comparable in scale and catchment characteristics to CDH.
• Kyabram and District Health Services: Small rural Victorian public health service providing acute, urgent, aged care, maternity and community health. Operates in the Goulburn Valley region with a similar small-rural operating model to CDH.

Broad incumbents

• Bendigo Health: Large regional Victorian health service providing tertiary-level acute, maternity with birthing, sub-acute, mental health and aged care. Functions as CDH's primary referral destination for higher-acuity patients, making it a strategic upstream partner and broader incumbent.

Regional players

• Northeast Health Wangaratta: Regional public health service in north-eastern Victoria providing acute, sub-acute, maternity, mental health and aged care. Operates outside CDH's catchment (different region) but is a useful reference for the next-step size/scale trajectory.
• Mildura Base Public Hospital: Public hospital in far north-western Victoria providing a broader range of acute, sub-acute, maternity, surgical and specialist services than CDH. A regional-scale comparable rather than direct catchment peer, but useful for benchmarking service expansion.

Emerging players

• Robinvale District Medical Centre: Small rural health service in far north-western Victoria providing primary care, community health and limited acute services. Smaller scope than CDH; comparable as a small rural peer for community-based service delivery.
