EDWARD Luna’s journey to GV Health began with his passion for community care.

Originally from the Philippines, Edward brought over 15 years of nursing experience to Australia in 2019.

His career path took him through New South Wales and Tasmania before he settled in Shepparton, drawn by a personal connection to the local community.

Now a valued clinician within GV Health’s mental health outreach service, Edward thrives in his role at the House of Hospital Outreach Post-suicidal Engagement (HOPE) program, focusing on client-led therapeutic care.
