A legacy of care since 1966

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.

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.

I ask you to join me and the Board in prayerful support of this plan and St Andrew’s as we move forward together in this God’s hospital.
