Based in tropical North Queensland, the Townsville Hospital and Health Service delivers comprehensive healthcare across a vast regional catchment, supporting communities from Cape York to the Torres Strait and west to Mount Isa. Anchored by Townsville University Hospital, it is the region’s only tertiary referral centre, providing a broad range of services from emergency and intensive care to specialised areas such as cardiac, cancer, paediatrics, mental health, and neonatal care.

As a major teaching and research hub, the service works closely with James Cook University and other training providers, offering strong opportunities for professional development alongside involvement in cutting-edge research, particularly in tropical medicine and regional health innovation.

When not working, take advantage of the many recreational activities and attractions in and around Townsville: explore the Strand waterfront, hike Castle Hill for panoramic views, take a ferry to Magnetic Island for beaches and wildlife, or enjoy the relaxed tropical lifestyle with easy access to the Great Barrier Reef.
