Cooktown Multipurpose Health Service

Cooktown Multipurpose Health Service in Cooktown is a Queensland Health multi-purpose health service providing acute care, aged care residential beds, and community health services to the remote Cape York community of Cooktown — the site of Captain Cook's historic 1770 landing — 330 km north of Cairns on the Coral Sea coast. The MPHS integrates hospital, aged care, and community health services for Cooktown's diverse community of Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents, providing essential health and aged care infrastructure for one of Australia's most historically significant but geographically isolated communities. The Cooktown facility serves a wide catchment including the remote Cape York Peninsula communities accessible via the Cooktown Development Road and the Princess Charlotte Bay coast.
