About us
Our health service
The Townsville Hospital and Health Service is passionate about improving the health and lives of the North Queensland community.
We strive to be a leader in health care, research and education for regional Australia, and, as one of the region’s largest employers, we are also proud to be a part of the community that we serve.
Our health service is one of the most geographically dispersed catchments, extending west to Richmond and Hughenden, north to Cardwell, south to Home Hill and east to Magnetic and Palm Islands. We support a population of almost 250,000 people, and while our distance could separate us, it instead unites us, motivating us to work together and strengthen our health system.
Our health service is also home to Townsville University Hospital, North Queensland’s only tertiary hospital, which supports a referral catchment of almost 700,000 people.
Our staff provide a person-centred approach to care, and we are passionate about living our values of integrity, compassion, accountability, respect and engagement in everything we do.

The Townsville Hospital and Health Service acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which our health facilities have been built and on which we meet today.
We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging; and we value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and knowledge.
