Matt’s Story and Vision
In 2010, Matt Hempsell returned to Australia with his family, bringing a vision to create a health care centre that truly made a difference. This vision began years earlier in 2002, shaped by his extensive experience working in diverse health care settings across the UK.
Through this journey, Matt recognised a common shortfall — many clinics housed multiple practitioners, but few offered genuinely collaborative care. He set out to change that.
Open Clinic Policy
At ONE HEALTH, we operate under a unique open-clinic policy. Our team of health professionals actively collaborate, regularly communicating to develop tailored treatment plans that serve your best interests. Rather than simply referring within the clinic, we work together, sharing knowledge, insight, and responsibility, to deliver the most effective, integrated care possible.
Our Mission and Team Values
Our mission is to provide the utmost enthusiastic, dedicated professional health care service in order to improve people’s lives in every way possible. We do this by working together with you, considering all aspects of health.
As a health care centre, we are passionate about what we do and use that passion to strive to return people to full and active health as quickly as possible. To do this, we are developing a team of dedicated health professionals who want to work with you to obtain the best possible outcomes for your health.
What We Do
To provide you with the best possible care, in conjunction with professional dedicated musculoskeletal health care services, you are provided with:
- A summary of your initial consultation with us, outlining details of your presenting symptoms, our diagnosis, predicted outcomes and our care recommendations.
- Where necessary, we communicate with our clinic team to work out the most effective approach for your situation.
- We provide documented feedback to each referring doctor or specialist after your initial consultation. We summarise your treatment options and any additional information found during your initial assessment with us.
- We provide each referring doctor or specialist a progress letter throughout your treatment process (if necessary) outlining progress reports, outcomes and any further recommendations for the your ongoing treatment.
