Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service

The Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service provides health care to a population of approximately 24,000 people and 66% of our patients are of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin. We have 31 primary health care centres, 2 hospitals and 2 multi-purpose facilities. Our facilities are scattered throughout the Torres Strait Islands, the Northern Peninsula Area and Cape York. Our main health centres are at Cooktown, Weipa, Thursday Island and Bamaga. Working in the Torres Strait Islands, Northern Peninsula Area and Cape York is more than a job, it is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, become an integral member of the local community, develop collaborative relationships with other health professionals and be a part of making a difference to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes by providing comprehensive health services. Health Service staff are trained to delivery culturally-safe health services that respect the traditions, lifestyle and culture of Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal people.
