The Thursday Island Community Wellness Centre, located at 163 Douglas Street, is an integrated health facility adjacent to the Thursday Island District Hospital. Officially opened in 2014, it aims to address the rising prevalence of chronic diseases in the Torres Strait Islands. The centre's design reflects the local culture, incorporating simple domestic forms and a color palette inspired by the turquoise waters and island sands. Landscaping and covered outdoor areas provide informal waiting spaces for families. Artworks by local Indigenous artists adorn the interior and exterior, featuring sea creatures significant to the community's healing traditions.
