About us:
Cairns Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a level III, general ICU with a diverse case-mix of both adult and paediatric patients. The majority of the 1100-1200 annual admissions are emergencies ( >90%) with a high level of acuity and complexity. Being based in the tropics, with a large, remote catchment area, the unit's leading causes of admission are sepsis and trauma, with a relatively young patient population and high illness severity. Cairns ICU admits approximately 70-100 paediatric patients a year and also facilitates care for one of the largest remote indigenous populations in Australia; with 30% of ICU admissions being Indigenous patients.
We're committed to improving the health and wellbeing of people in Far North Queensland by providing high quality acute health care services.
