About Us

St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital opened on 9 July 1966 courtesy of strong community support and a significant contribution from the Bain Family of Jandowae.

The hospital is a registered charitable institution with the Australian Taxation Office (ABN 95 820 855 300) which means that organisations and individuals donation funds to the hospital can claim tax concessions.  In addition, the hospital with its not-for-profit status must direct any profits made by the hospital back into the operations of the hospital.

St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital receives no recurrent Commonwealth, State or Local Government assistance.  The hospital relies upon community support to assist with meeting the growing needs of the community as well as introducing the latest technological advances in medical and surgical procedures.

The hospital values the ongoing financial support and volunteer involvement from many members of the Toowoomba and Darling Downs Community
