Mitchell General Hospital

Mitchell General Hospital in Mitchell is a rural general hospital in outback Queensland's Maranoa region, 600 km west of Brisbane, that provides acute health services alongside residential aged care beds for the older residents of Mitchell and the surrounding Channel Country and Maranoa pastoral communities. The hospital's aged care services enable elderly residents of this remote outback community to receive ongoing residential care without being displaced to distant regional centres, maintaining their connection to the Mitchell community and the vast pastoral landscape they call home. As a Queensland Health facility, Mitchell General Hospital provides government-funded aged care as part of its integrated rural health service.
