Hospital Precinct

Cairns Hospital is in this suburb, which is why a lot of our hospital-to-home work starts here.

Walkable Streets

Flat, gridded streets and close amenities mean many support plans here need less transport.

Close To Base

Around five minutes from our Parramatta Park office, so short-notice attendance is realistic.

Cairns North service area

Support for participants living beside the hospital precinct and the Esplanade.

Cairns North is a mix of older houses, unit blocks and the hospital campus. Participants here are often either close to health services by design, or have ended up here after a discharge. Our support tends to focus on keeping a tenancy stable, keeping appointments on track, and making sure a discharge does not turn into a readmission.
