The Townsville Hospital and Health Service (HHS) 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. Each day, the HHS sees 336 people in our emergency departments, 1,913 people through our specialist outpatient clinics and 40 people in our operating theatres.

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.
