… a time for celebration, excitement, a time for great health and wellbeing!
At Eastern Health we take pride in being a part of the local community. That’s why we are commemorating our rich and diverse community by celebrating Chinese New Year.
Chinese New Year is full of vividness, culture and colour – a celebration of age old traditions and beliefs which incorporate a rich heritage of one of the World's most ancient civilisations.
To help you understand more about Chinese New Year we’ve included some useful facts to provide you with an insight into the culture and history surrounding the Chinese New Year festival.

I hope you will join us in celebrating the Year of the Dragon.
The Chinese New Year is celebrated in accordance with the lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is based on the time the moon takes to go around the Earth and coincides with the new moon.
The new lunar calendar year celebrates the year of the Dragon - people born in the year of the Dragon are energetic, enthusiastic and self-confident.
