That looks like it might have been scorched in that hot weather a few weeks ago? I would prune off any dead bits to at least 1cm into green wood. Don't worry about the dead leaves - they will fall off on their own and give some sun protection to the new growth. Have you got it in rose/azalea potting mix? If not check the pH. If it is too high you need to amend it down to pH4. Have a look at Bunnings/local nursery for something that fits with your experience (ie treatments can vary in complexity)
Also remember that any treatment is temporary and you need to monitor the pH on an ongoing basis until you get a feel for it. I would also feed it (rose and azalea feed generally also reduces pH so is a good maintenance feed), and although it can be controversial I would also use some Seasol. I find that blueberries respond very quickly to it. Any new growth that you get will be tender so protect it from scorching sun and wind. Once it's healthy it will be robust (mine are in pots in full sun).

How do I bring my blueberry bush back to life and get those leaves green again?

@KathyB may be able to help?
How old is the plant? How much sun does it get? What’s the watering regime?
