In 2012, we opened a brand new children’s health service to help make healthcare more convenient and accessible for families living in Brisbane’s northern suburbs. These services include a children’s emergency department, short-stay ward and outpatients service.

The Prince Charles Hospital is involved in numerous national and international research trials and projects. We are the centre for leading clinical and translational research programs, particularly in the fields of cardiac thoracic medicine and surgery, critical care and orthopaedics.
