Mission Statement

Our Mission is to provide the highest standard of patient care to the community of Townsville.

Nautilus Health believes that health care is a cooperative partnership between the practitioner and the patient. It is a unique and special relationship where ideal health is supported, inner growth and change is nurtured and healing occurs.

We embody the Hippocratic principles of treating the whole person and we incorporate a holistic approach toward diagnosis, investigation and management of illness based on scientifically validated guidelines. We see patients as whole beings, with a mind, body, spirit and emotions and we recognise their interactivity and interrelationship in healing, self-regulation, growth and change.

Nautilus Health is devoted to promoting health, wellness, disease prevention and the achievement of personal potential for our patients. Patients are listened to, treated with respect and empathy, and receive timely care and advice appropriate to their needs.
