CQ Hand + Upper Limb

CQ Hand + Upper Limb is Central Queensland's dedicated upper-limb orthopaedic practice, based at Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton.

The practice cares for private, DVA and WorkCover patients across Rockhampton, the Capricorn Coast, Gladstone, Bundaberg, Mackay, Emerald and the central west, with telehealth follow-up offered to regional patients to limit travel.
