This is a teaching hospital serving Far North Queensland and Torres Strait Islands. Very friendly, relaxed hospital where ties are banned, tropical shirts are worn every Friday and there is an annual moustache-growing contest in November. It serves as a teaching hospital for James Cook University. The hospital is on the sea front and a short walk to the centre of town.

Rate it first! An Englishman in CBH, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 Written by Pat Spielmann who used to work at this hospital  - See all my reviews  - Top 50 Reviewer Hospital: Environment Hospital: Facilities Hospital: Admin Training Opportunities Time Off Lifestyle: General Lifestyle: Social Scene Lifestyle: Facilites Lifestyle: Cost of living There are loads of overseas doctors working in CBH which makes for a very active social scene. Work is relaxed but full of weird and wonderful tropical diseases / late presentations of pathology.  Accomodation is easily obtained and generally of a very high standard. Quality of life is excellent if you can tolerate blistering heat and hgh humidity. Proximity to rainforest and reef a massive bonus.  Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely go back.
