A question that is commonly asked is about medical services. Do I have to go to Brisbane? With few exceptions, the answer is “No”. The Sunshine Coast University Hospital is a 15 minute drive away (maybe 10 if you are in an ambulance). The hospital is world class and because the Sunshine Coast is such a desirable location there is no shortage of specialists. Locally, Caloundra has a feeder hospital and an ambulance service which both operate very efficiently.
