As the only tertiary referral centre in North Queensland, Townsville University Hospital treats patients from as far north as Cape York Peninsula and the Torres Strait Islands and west to Mount Isa and the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is also the major teaching hospital for James Cook University’s schools of medicine, nursing, and allied health and TAFE Queensland North. We are proud to be teaching the clinicians of tomorrow.

With a state-of-the-art, dedicated research space, and close geographical links to James Cook University, the hospital is on the cutting edge of tropical medicine research with clinical trial partnerships both on-site and via telehealth.
