Get directions

When you receive a letter from us for an appointment you will be provided with a location code. Enter the location code or name below to view directions to help you find your way.

No matches found.

Select a location below to find out how to get there. Directions assume that you are starting inside the Main Hospital Building.

Using a location code to find your way

The first two characters of the code show the zone and level number to help you find your way. The full code will match signage at the correct location.

  • From one of the hospital entrances use the letter at the beginning of your code (A or B) to identify the correct zone, indicated by signage and colours (blue for zone A and green for zone B).
  • Use the first number in your code to identify the correct level (0 to 5). If required, use the lift in the correct zone to move to the correct level.
  • From the lift/entrance follow signs to find the department location matching your full code.

High contrast colours and tactile Braille signs are used to help people with visual impairments find their way.

Please note you can only move between zones A and B on floors zero and one, so make sure you are in the correct zone before using a lift.

If you don’t know where to go you can:

  • view directions by entering a location code or name above
  • have a chat to one of our friendly volunteers or staff members
  • go to the front reception desk in the foyer of the hospital.

Zones

The main hospital building is split into two zones. We've used signage and high contrast colours on the walls and at lifts to help you identify which zone you are in and key destinations within each zone.

We love where we live, and we wanted to bring as much of our natural landscape into our hospitals as possible. Zone A is blue, and represents our beautiful waterways, rivers, and the beach. Zone B is green, and represents our hinterland, natural forests, farming land, and natural foliage.

The emergency department is separate to these zones and is coloured red for quick recognition.

Level and department numbering

Each level of the main hospital building is numbered, from zero (ground floor) to five. There are lifts in each zone to take you to the different levels within that zone.

Each department is numbered in order of the flow from the lifts/entrances.

Lifts located within each zone of Sunshine Coast University Hospital provide access to department locations identified by the full location code.
