The Opportunity

Hunter New England Health (HNE Health) provides a range of public health services to the Hunter, New England and Lower Mid North Coast regions.

The Manilla Multipurpose Service (MPS) has 12 new acute care room, new permanent two-bay Emergency Department, clinic rooms for Manilla GPs and visiting specialists, treatment rooms and work areas for Community Health Services and a four bedroom self-contained staff accommodation complex.

The Location

Manilla is a rural New England town, nestled at the junctions of the Namoi and Manilla Rivers, which are central to the town’s character.

Teamsters with bullock wagons camped at the junction of the two rivers - an early camping ground for the Kamilaroi people - before continuing their journeys, carrying supplies to outlying cattle stations and the gold fields of Bingara and Bundarra.

Now, the rivers make fantastic playgrounds for water sports, fishing, boating and camping, which attract many visitors. Manilla sits between Lake Keepit and Split Rock Dam, and is near Warrabah National Park.

Manilla’s main street is a fascinating display of period architecture, with Victorian and art deco facades, leadlight windows, wrought-iron balconies and ornate verandahs. Heritage-listed buildings merge seamlessly with cosmopolitan street cafes, while history buffs rub shoulders with adrenaline junkies, paragliders and hang gliders.

Manilla is a town where you can have your head in the past - or your head in the clouds.
