About the Sunshine Coast
Escape to the Sunshine Coast, a Southeast Queensland paradise just a short distance from Brisbane. Embrace coastal living with pristine beaches, lush hinterlands, and a laid-back lifestyle. Despite its proximity to Australia's third most populous city (Brisbane), the Sunshine Coast maintains a sense of community with short commutes, excellent schools, and spacious house blocks for families. Explore diverse landscapes, from golden sands to rainforests, and enjoy quick getaways to the Great Barrier Reef and islands. The Sunshine Coast isn't just a destination; it's a seamless blend of exploration, play, and family life in the heart of Queensland.
Our Sunshine Coast hospital has been purposefully designed as a hub of multidisciplinary excellence. Services include 24/7 Emergency, Critical Care, Surgery, Ophthalmology, advanced imaging, Anaesthesia, and Neurology (commencing May 2026), ensuring comprehensive and seamless care for every patient.
