The Townsville Hospital and Health Service comprises 18 hospitals and community health campuses and two residential aged care facilities in the area north to Cardwell and Ingham, west to Charters Towers, Hughenden and Richmond, south to Ayr and Home Hill and east to Magnetic Island and Palm Islands.  We operate public health facilities in each of these areas, one of which, the Townsville Hospital, is the only tertiary hospital in North Queensland.

The health service covers an area two-and-a-half times the size of France, has a population of more than 230,000 and employs a workforce of around 5,000 dedicated staff, all whom take pride in providing the best possible care to thousands of patients across the region.  In the past financial year, the health service provided almost 65,000 in-patient occasions of service, had more than 62,000 emergency department attendances and delivered more than 2,600 babies.

The district has seven institutes.  These are:  Institute of Cancer, Institute of Community and Rural Services, Institute of Emergency and Medicine, Institute of Support Services, Institute of Surgery and Cardiac, Institute of Women’s and Children’s Health, and Institute of Mental Health, Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs
