The official opening of a new allied health facility in Kingaroy will fill a gap in the market, according to South Burnett Care CEO Cheryl Dalton.<\/p>\n

The Allied Health Therapy Group – a separate business unit under the South Burnett Care Board – is located in the former South Burnett Lawyers building at 1-3 Mary Street.<\/p>\n

The building has been completely renovated and a new, wheelchair-accessible entrance created facing Freemans Lane.<\/p>\n

Practice manager Megan Scott said occupational therapist Katie Yeates was already based at the centre but there was room for more allied health professionals to join.<\/p>\n

As well as the six office spaces and a therapy room, there is a conference room – fitted out for telehealth consultations – which is available to hire.<\/p>\n

At the western end of the building, another separate business unit, Queensland Plan Management Service, has set up office.<\/p>\n

Janine Nielsen is an NDIS plan manager, managing NDIS budgets for clients and handling the payment of bills.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Care chair Paul Laurentiussen said visiting the old South Burnett Lawyers building brought back memories.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Thirteen and a half years ago I came here for a job interview,” he said. “It was all avocado green.”<\/p>\n

And it was still avocado green when South Burnett Care bought it.<\/p>\n

He said what had been done with the building since had created a new asset for the community.<\/p>\n

Cheryl said having patients visiting allied health professionals based in Kingaroy, rather than visiting specialists, meant wages stayed in the community.<\/p>\n

“Every little bit makes a difference,” she said.<\/p>\n

No GP referral is necessary to see the occupational therapist.<\/p>\n
