HealthOne Blayney
HealthOne Blayney is developing a co-located service that will be part of the Blayney Multipurpose Service (MPS) and will complement and enhance existing health services. An extension and refurbishment of the MPS is currently underway.
The HealthOne Blayney service will include:
- General Practice services including a Practice Nurse
- Community Nursing, including child and family
- Visiting services - Allied Health and Medical Specialists
