Delivering Tracheostomy Care in Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast University Hospital at Birtinya changed the calculus for tracheostomy participants here, because specialist respiratory support is now on the Coast rather than in Brisbane. For hinterland families the drive is still real, so household training remains the front line.

Frequently Asked Questions | Tracheostomy Care Sunshine Coast

Is specialist respiratory support available on the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. Sunshine Coast University Hospital at Birtinya provides specialist services that previously meant a trip to Brisbane, which shortens the pathway considerably for tracheostomy participants. Your treating team sets the tube regime and we execute it at home.
Can tracheostomy care be supported in the hinterland?
Yes, with the household trained to full competency and equipment redundancy in the home. Distance from Birtinya means the people present carry the emergency response, so we train to that standard and rehearse rather than assuming a nurse can arrive in time.
