About FocusOne Health
what is focusone health?
FocusOne Health is a locally operated not-for-profit organisation that has been providing essential mental health and general health services within the communities we service, for over 30 years.
We support thousands of people each year to access services that prioritise the health and well-being of individuals, including being the lead agency for the Mount Gambier Medicare Mental Health Centre and headspace Berri.
Our dedication extends to supporting vulnerable groups, including culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, the LGBTIQA+ community, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and older Australians; we aim to create an inclusive and comprehensive network of care that meets the unique needs of individuals across all aspects of health and well-being.
We are committed to supporting our local primary health care workforce by offering Continuing Professional Education for medical, nursing, and allied health professionals. We create opportunities for social and professional networking, promoting an integrated and collaborative primary health care workforce, while ensuring access to timely and relevant health and service information.
FocusOne Health works in partnership with a broad range of organisations and service providers to deliver integrated and coordinated health services to the community, including General Practice, specialists, allied health services, state government health services – including hospitals and community health, non-government organisations, local government, and community groups.
FocusOne Health is certified to ISO 9001 and the National Standards for Mental Health Services. We uphold a culture of continuous quality improvement through our internal Quality, Risk, and Safety Committee. By taking a proactive approach to risk management and workplace health and safety, we ensure the provision of safe, effective, and high-quality services to our clients.
The History of FocusOne Health
Founded in 1994 as the Riverland Division of General Practice Inc under the Commonwealth Government’s Divisions of General Practice program, FocusOne Health has emerged as an independent, membership-based organisation. Over the years, it has transformed into a Primary Health Care entity, dedicated to offering integrated, coordinated, locally focused, and responsive services that align with the identified health needs of the community.
