Welcome to the Townsville Health Service District (THSD)

The THSD 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 district 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 last financial year, the district 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 nine institutes.  These are:  Cardiac Services, Cancer Services, Emergency Medicine and Medical Services, Mental Health Services, Primary Health and Ambulatory Care, Rural Health, Support Services, Surgery and Women's and Children's Health.

The Townsville Health Service District can offer you the right blend of professional enhancement and fulfilling work coupled with a relaxed lifestyle in the tropics.  For excellent career opportunities visit work for us.
