Satellite Hospital addresses, appointments and contact information
“Satellite Hospital” was the former collective name for seven Queensland facilities now officially called Satellite Health Centres. There is no single Satellite Hospital address or telephone number. You must choose the correct centre in Caboolture, Kallangur, Bribie Island, Eight Mile Plains, Redland Bay, South Ripley or Tugun.
Call 000 for a life-threatening emergency. If you are unsure where to seek care, call 13 HEALTH on 13 43 25 84 and speak with a registered nurse.
Is “Satellite Hospital” one hospital?
No. The search term refers to Queensland’s network of community-based health facilities. In February 2025, the former Satellite Hospitals were renamed Satellite Health Centres to describe their services more clearly.
What every centre provides
Each centre has a Minor Injury and Illness Clinic for walk-in assessment of urgent but non-life-threatening conditions. These clinics help people obtain suitable care closer to home.
What differs by location
Appointment-based services vary. Depending on the centre, these may include dialysis, cancer care, day medical treatment, allied health, oral health, mental health, women’s services or specialist outpatient clinics.

Should you go to a Satellite Health Centre?
Minor but urgent problem
A Minor Injury and Illness Clinic may be suitable for an urgent condition that is not expected to be life-threatening.
Life-threatening emergency
Call 000 or attend a full Emergency Department. Do not travel to a Satellite Health Centre first.
Routine or ongoing care
Contact your usual GP when the problem is not urgent. Your GP knows your medical history and can arrange follow-up or referrals.
Specialist outpatient care
Use the referral and appointment process. Do not attend an outpatient department as a walk-in unless staff specifically instruct you.
Unsure which option fits
Call 13 HEALTH and describe the symptoms to a registered nurse before travelling.
Need current wait information
Use Queensland Health’s Open Hospitals service as a general planning guide. Never rely on an online wait estimate during an emergency.
