Satellite Hospitals and Minor Injury and Illness Clinics
There are three Satellite Hospitals in the Metro North Health catchment – Caboolture Satellite Hospital, Kallangur Satellite Hospital and Bribie Island Satellite Hospital (opens 2024).
Each Queensland Satellite Hospital offers a Minor Injury and Illness Clinic, which provides walk-in urgent care for illnesses and injuries not anticipated to be life-threatening in nature. This service is free for Medicare card holders.
Satellite Hospital Minor Injury and Illness Clinics are run by a team of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals experienced in treating urgent medical needs who can assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of minor injuries in adults, adolescents and babies older than three months of age.
