Description

Innisfail Hospital serves as a 49-bed Level 3 rural hospital with 19 doctors (12 Senior medical officers, & 7 PHOs), who provide care to approximately 35,000 residents and visitors in the Innisfail district. This includes a significant Indigenous population.

We manage a diverse patient case mix, including emergency presentations ranging from trauma and acute illnesses to inpatient medical, surgical, and paediatric cases. The hospital's High Dependency Unit (HDU) cares for critically ill patients requiring advanced support like non-invasive ventilation (NIV)
