New allied health services expand support for Fairfield patients
02 Oct 2026
South Western Sydney Primary Health Network (SWSPHN) has funded five providers through its Multidisciplinary Team Care small grants program. The initiative is designed to improve access to allied health care and support closer teamwork between allied health providers and small or solo general practices in Fairfield.
Although the program focuses on practices in Fairfield, eligible patients from across South Western Sydney can use the services.
