Open Minds will be providing psychology services at the new Morayfield Health Hub – a comprehensive, fully-integrated, multidisciplinary health hub at 19-31 Dickson Road in Morayfield.
The Morayfield Health Hub is a comprehensive, fully-integrated, multidisciplinary health hub at 19-31 Dickson Road in Morayfield. It is due for completion by July 2018 and answers a service gap in the area, by incorporating relevant clinical requirements to support the expanding population. The Health Hub will provide:
- GPs
- Psychology
- Psychiatry
- X-Ray
- Rehabilitation
- Radiology
- Pharmacy
- Dentistry
- Audiology
- Mum & Bub Hub
Open Minds will be providing psychology services on site. So far, we have successfully hired four Psychologists, one Social Worker, and one Practice Manager to deliver these services, and they will begin working at Morayfield in the coming weeks. Find out more about the team and the services we will be providing here.
You might be wondering why the Morayfield Health Hub is being built – here are a few facts to help explain:
- The Caboolture Hospital operates at close to double its design capacity
- The number of GPs servicing Caboolture is less than half the Australian average
- Caboolture has the highest disease burden of all regions in Metro North Brisbane
- The incidence of heart disease is 11% higher that that of the Brisbane population
- The region’s population is expected to GROW by 40% over the next 20 years – putting further pressure on the hospital and GPs.
An urgent health need exists in the Caboolture and Morayfield regions, which is why the Morayfield Allied Health Hub is being built.
What will it look like?
Open Minds will occupy a dedicated area of the building on the first floor, and the first phase (due for completion in a few weeks time) will have six consult rooms for our psychologists to use. There will also be a dedicated Open Minds waiting room and child friendly zone available.
