About us
The Emergency Department is a dynamic workplace which treats both Adult and Paediatric populations. It is made up of 17 acute patient treatment areas, 3 resuscitation bays, triage, and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) assessment areas, and a Fast-Track area which treats less acute presentations. The Emergency Department also manages a 12-bed Short Stay Unit.
The Emergency Department sees on average 150 patients per a 24-hour period, and sees a vast range of clinical presentations, and works with patients from culturally diverse backgrounds. As a result of being a referral hospital for Central Queensland the Emergency Department sees a large amount of critically unwell and trauma cases and works closely with the Royal Flying Doctor's Service (RFDS).
