GP Super Clinics
Balance! Healthcare was awarded the contract by the Federal Government in 2009 to establish and operate GP Super Clinics in the Blue Mountains and Cairns.
The Clinic is based on a ‘hub and spoke' model - with purpose-built multi-disciplinary health care hubs at Springwood, NSW and Edmonton, QLD with primary care spokes in key service centres throughout the Blue Mountains and Cairns. This model enables us to deliver services locally throughout the region and provide a consistent level of care across all our operations.
The Blue Mountains Clinic is operational at Blackheath and the hub in Springwood is scheduled to be operational by November 2010 and Cairns by July 2011.
All practices within the GP Super Clinic will be electronically linked, providing a coordinated system of health care and secure access to client records. With patient consent, individual medical records will be available to all practitioners, allowing them to gain a complete picture of a client's treatment program.
