This week, we celebrated a major milestone as we marked the official commencement of construction on a new 10-storey health building here at The Wesley.

We were honoured to welcome Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, Governor of Queensland, to turn the first sod on this pivotal project together with Dr Christian Rowan MP, Michael Berkman - Greens MP for Maiwar, and leaders of UnitingCare and Uniting Church Queensland.

Once complete, this new facility will feature a dedicated Day Surgery Centre with six operating theatres, as well as space for The Wesley to grow established services and realise our vision of creating Queenslandโ€™s largest private comprehensive cancer centre of excellence.

This major development represents an important investment in increased health capacity, enhanced patient experiences, and even better care for those we serve.

Set to open in late 2028, the building will be directly connected to The Wesley Hospital by a covered pedestrian footbridge, and will also be home to state-of-the-art research facilities, specialist consulting suites, and upgraded and expanded radiation oncology facilities.

Pictured: Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, Governor of Queensland, Dr Christian Rowan MP, Mr Michael Berkman MP, Rev Bruce Moore Moderator of The Uniting Church in Australia Queensland Synod, Jim Demack UnitingCare Board Chair, and Ben Edwards UnitingCare Chief Executive Officer.

This week is Lymphoedema Awareness Week, and the 2026 theme - United in Care. Diverse in Practice - shines a light on the breadth and depth of lymphoedema care in practice.

At The Wesley Hospital, our expert occupational therapists and physiotherapists lead our Lymphoedema Clinic, providing comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and treatment using the latest evidence-based equipment and techniques.

Lymphoedema occurs when excess fluid builds up in the body, causing swelling often in the arms or legs due to damage or blockage in the lymphatic system. Every personโ€™s experience is different - and so are ways we can provide care and support.

From education and compassionate treatment to community resources, we embrace a range of approaches to help improve lives. Treatment options include compression garments, exercise, manual lymphatic drainage and more.

Together, we stand United in Care, raising awareness, supporting those living with lymphoedema, and celebrating the diverse practices that make a difference.

๐Ÿ“ž For more information or to make a booking, please call 07 3232 6190 - no doctor referral is required.

๐ŸŽ‰ Today marks a special milestone for The Wesley Hospital! ๐Ÿฅ

On 1 March 1977, The Wesley Hospital first opened its doors, but its legacy of care goes back even further.

The journey began when Dr Charles Kebbell transformed a modest building into a private hospital in South Brisbane. In 1901 the hospital was purchased by well-known surgeon Dr Ernest Sandford Jackson and was renamed St Helen's. Then in 1949 St Helenโ€™s was purchased by the Methodist Church which would later become the Uniting Church.

Years later the decision came to relocate the hospital to the Moorlands Estate at Auchenflower, ushering in a new era of healthcare excellence and The Wesley Hospital was established.

Join us in celebrating this momentous occasion and take a trip down memory lane with some "then and now" photos of our hospital and people.

Weโ€™re proud to celebrate Seth and Jacinta on completing their CareerTrackers internships with the Allied Health team at the Wesley.

Through their placements, both shared thoughtful reflections on their learning journeys. Seth, an Allied Health student, highlighted how the experience strengthened his clinical skills and deepened his understanding of culturally informed care. Jacinta, studying Psychology, spoke about gaining valuable insight into practice within a hospital setting and reinforcing her commitment to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wellbeing.

The Wesley Hospital is proudly part of UnitingCare, which runs the CareerTrackers internships. We promote cultural knowledge, lived experience and deep community connection into care. First Nations practitioners play a vital role in strengthening cultural safety, trust and outcomes across our services.
