COVER DESIGN
An artist’s impression of the façade of the
CQUniversity Health Clinic, Rockhampton. The
abstract geometric design, by Brisbane-based
architectural firm Reddog, reflects the forms
and palette of yellows and creams of the many
eucalyptus trees surrounding the clinic entrance.
CQUniversity Rockhampton is home to the $7m
CQUniversity Health Clinic, a public access
clinic with the dual aim of providing improved
health care outcomes for people in Central
Queensland, and skilling up the region’s future
health workforce.
The clinic, made possible through $6.6m in
Health Workforce Australia funding, represents
the first stage in a longer term plan to greatly
expand CQUniversity’s clinical facilities.
Health services at the clinic – in areas including
occupational therapy, podiatry, physiotherapy
and speech pathology – are delivered through
a partnership with Central Queensland Hospital
and Health Services (CQHHS), a Queensland
Government initiative.
The CQHHS team located at the clinic provides
health care services for up to 160 clients a day
and supports clinical placements for up to 200
students annually.
The clinic also houses teaching facilities for
CQUniversity’s Bachelor of Oral Health.
A $16m ‘stage two’ of the clinic is planned
for construction from 2013, and will include
additional clinic space, as well as teaching
spaces to train and educate allied health
students from CQUniversity and other
universities around Australia.
