The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is a government department in Victoria, Australia. Commencing operation on 1 January 2015, it is responsible for the state's health system, as well as various other aspects of social policy.

The DHHS was formed following machinery of government changes in the aftermath of the 2014 state election, assuming the functions of the previous Department of Health and Department of Human Services, respectively.[1][2]

After further re-structures in January 2019, the Department's responsibilities relating to sport and recreation were instead transferred to the newly-created Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions.
