Inclusive Health & Wellbeing Hub

Inclusive Health & Wellbeing Hub is a community-focused health service in South Bank, Brisbane, created for people experiencing disadvantage, as well as members of the local community who have difficulty accessing mainstream healthcare. Its stated purpose is to improve access to quality care while recognising that health is shaped by social circumstances, not just individual medical concerns.

The hub provides general practice services and wellness programs, with its service areas listed as medical, dental, wellness and nursing. Its broader approach covers physical, dental, mental health and holistic healthcare, with an emphasis on personalised support for the whole person. The organisation also aims to connect healthcare with social and community services, helping identify and, where possible, address the social factors that can contribute to poor health outcomes.

This is a considered option for people looking for a more inclusive and integrated approach to care, particularly those who have found conventional services difficult to access. The hub’s stated values include dignity, respect, compassion, inclusion and diversity. It also acknowledges the individual nature of recovery from trauma or addiction, and says it works alongside people at a pace they choose. That makes its focus distinct from a standard wellness venue: the emphasis is on practical access to healthcare, collaboration and reducing health inequality.

The hub operates under Inclusive Health Partnerships Ltd, a not-for-profit company and Public Benevolent Institution. It was developed through partnerships involving Micah Projects, The Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation, Mater Misericordiae, Princess Alexandra Hospital and St Vincent’s Private Hospital Brisbane, among others. The service is listed at 15 Hope Street, South Brisbane, with the directory location recorded as South Bank, Brisbane. The website lists weekday practice hours of 8.30am to 4pm and says it is closed on weekends and public holidays. For enquiries, call 07 3013 6050 or email admin@inclusivehealth.org.au.
