Old Isisford District Hospital
The former Isisford District Hospital is a timber-framed and -clad complex with corrugated iron roofing, located in western central Queensland. Established in 1892, with additions between 1902 and 1961, it functioned as a hospital to 1970 and as a clinic until 2011. It is a fine example of a district hospital and demonstrates the evolution of Queensland district hospitals from the 1890s in accordance with changes to community needs, health practices and hospital legislation.
Ashford Hospital
The hospital has its origins in the Staines Poor Law Union Infirmary which opened in the mid-19th century. It became the Staines Emergency Hospital in September 1939, Staines County Hospital in December 1941 and Ashford County Hospital in June 1945. It joined the National Health Service as Ashford Hospital in 1948. A new nurses' home was completed in December 1956 and new out-patients and accident and emergency departments were added in 1966. A new maternity unit followed in 1968.
