Relocation update

O’Brien Street Practice is required to relocate due to challenges with its current physical location.

On this page

The practice is and will continue to provide services – it is not closing.

We thank all our consumers, staff, community and other stakeholders for your patience as planning continues for the relocation of the O’Brien Street Practice. It remains important to explore all options to ensure the best outcome is achieved for our consumers and the future of the service.

Possible locations within the CBD have been identified and the O’Brien Street Consumer and Stakeholder Relocation Planning Group continues to meet and explore the suitability of each site.

Have your say

Consumers will continue to receive email updates. Our feedback line also remains open, and we encourage our community to contact us with any queries.

FAQs

We have been exploring available options in and around the Adelaide central business district. 

Potential locations have been identified within the CBD with ongoing information being determined to ensure options are fit for purpose, and consider the needs of the community received through forums and feedback mechanisms.

No decision has been made yet on a location. An important consideration for any new location will be the continued provision of confidential care for patients.

The new premises also needs to support the delivery of contemporary care with access to up-to-date IT systems. 

Preparatory work is occurring to support this future relocation such as our staff conducting equipment audits to identify items that may need replacement at the time of relocation, stock inventory, and contacting patients to collect personal x-rays stored on site.

O‘Brien Street clinicians will have the opportunity to relocate.

Before the move, you can speak with your practitioner. When the practice relocates you will be able to, if you wish to, speak with an experienced case coordinator to help you make confidential and informed decisions about your ongoing individual health care needs.

Please speak with your usual O’Brien Street Practice healthcare professional who continues to be included in relocation discussions.

For more information email us and leave your contact details if you wish to receive a return phone call.

Consumers and stakeholders continue to utilise this feedback and enquiry mechanism and the service remains responsive to all communication.

The project team has also been regularly updating registered consumers and stakeholders with progress on the relocation.

Consultation

CALHN held forums for O’Brien Street Practice patients and stakeholders throughout 2022.

The patient forum was an opportunity for patients to share information about the need to relocate the practice, and for those to ask questions, provide feedback and connect with each other.

The stakeholder forum included representatives from organisations which represent those living with HIV, including the LGBTQIA+ community, and government and non-government organisations providing health and social services to this community were invited to attend this forum.

The feedback from these forums continues to be considered as new locations are being explored.

Relocation Group Meeting

An O’Brien Street Practice relocation planning group was established to help steer the move, with the group including O’Brien Street patient representatives and the practice’s senior medical practitioner, professional staff, and representatives from government and non-government service providers.

The group continue to be actively involved in relocation discussions and will be asked to endorse the recommended location once found.

In conjunction with other planning group members, a case management transition plan to support O’Brien Street Practice patients during the relocation period has been developed, to ensure a robust process and resources are in place to support consumers through a service relocation if required.

Reports and recommendations

Read the O’Brien Street Practice Relocation report and recommendations, prepared by Professor Judith Dwyer AM.

This paper was prepared following an enquiry arising from the need to relocate the O’Brien Street Practice, and uncertainty about the new premises and ongoing services. It presents a summary of the current situation, priorities for the required resolution and recommendations.
