The Queensland Freemasons Blood Cancer Centre is an 18 unit complex built amid landscaped gardens, adjacent to the Townsville Hospital. Within the centre, covered walkways provide easy access to the comfortable two-bedroom and three-bedroom, fully self-contained units.

Eight units are located at ground level with private courtyards, while the remaining ten units are located upstairs with large balconies.

The village is equipped with:

• a children’s playground
• a gym and spa
• an auditorium

History

In 2002 Queensland Freemasons Blood Cancer Centre was opened in the grounds of Townsville General Hospital to cater for the needs of regional families in north Queensland.

Stage 1 was built at a cost of $2.2 million and was named in recognition of the Queensland Freemasons, who pledged $1.2 million to the Leukaemia Foundation towards the cost of the facility. The Stage 2 expansion was completed in July 2012 with funding assistance from the Queensland Government.
