HealthOne Rouse Hill
HealthOne Rouse Hill will be located in the new Rouse Hill Town Centre and will be a hub and spoke model
The hub will be a central operational base for delivery of prioritised clinical services, care coordination and integrated primary health care services. The spokes represent integration of primary health care services through new ways of working and linkages with GP practices through technology, care navigation arrangements, partnerships and GP liaison.
The multidisciplinary team will be comprised of General Practitioners, Community Nurses (Chronic and Complex and Child and Family), sessional Allied Health, (therapy & counselling) and mental health professionals
