Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Special Care Nursery - Pregnancy on Palm

Each year, Townsville University Hospital cares for more than 800 pre-term and unwell babies. Our state-of-the-art NICU treats some of the smallest and sickest babies in Queensland. As the only level six tertiary-referral centre for newborns outside of Brisbane, the unit coordinates and undertakes the retrieval of sick babies from across North Queensland. The unit is a world leader in best practice and cutting-edge research with a staffing complement including neonatologists, registrars, nurse practitioners, maternal foetal medicine specialists and paediatric surgeons.
