A new $9 million public-access Allied Health clinic is to be constructed at the Rockhampton campus of Central Queensland University as part of a $12 million investment in new allied health programs in 2012.

 

The facility will service up to 160 clients per day, and students will work alongside qualified health professionals in the areas of oral health, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, podiatry and speech pathology.  There will also be opportunities for collaboration with other discipline areas.

 

As well as consultation and treatment rooms, the clinic will include rehabilitation gyms, an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) kitchen and bathroom facilities as part of an integrated approach to treatment of chronic disease. Other features include six oral health chairs, an X-Ray room, a podiatry surgery, consultation rooms, and clinician and student office facilities and spaces.
