All Townsville HHS facilities are smoke-free zones. The Queensland Government has banned smoking in all Queensland hospitals, healthcare and residential aged care facilities and from five metres beyond their boundaries.
Visiting hours
Until further notice, there is a change to visiting hours at all Townsville HHS hospitals to provide more flexibility for those among our community wanting to support a loved one in hospital.
Two people may visit a patient, at the same time, for two-hours, once per day, between 8am and 8pm. All visitors must be over the age of 16.
Visitors can always remain with a patient and are not restricted to the two-hour limit and may stay for longer if they meet the exemptions. For those exemptions, please click here.
