IWC is kicking off 2023 by repairing their North Burnett Health and Wellbeing Centre.
In September 2021, IWC proudly opened up their North Burnett Health and Wellbeing Centre in Gayndah.
The opening of this centre brought health services to the community of Gayndah and its surrounds, in state-of-the-art facilities, along with a gym and a revitalised space of the existing YMCA stadium.
In an unfortunate twist of fate, a burst pipe over a long weekend led to the facility closing after only one week of operation -a huge disappointment to IWC as an organisation and the North Burnett community.
In the interim, IWC acquired the Gayndah Family Medical practice to ensure the people of Gayndah had continued access to health care services.
After an extended period of negotiations, repairs are set to begin in January 2023.
ICW fought long and hard to ensure the standards their customers have grown to expect would be met through this project.
The re-opening of their Fielding Street location will allow IWC to continue delivering health and wellbeing services, including increasing their general practice’s capacity to see patients, from their general practitioners, Indigenous health workers and practitioners.
This will also facilitate increased capacity for visiting allied health services, including but not limited to accredited practising dietitians, credentialed diabetes educators, physiotherapists and more.
The repair work is anticipated to be completed in approximately six months, with the centre’s re-opening anticipated for mid-2023. More details of IWC’s reopening will be confirmed closer to the date.
