Diamantina Health Care Museum, Historic healthcare museum in Woolloongabba, Australia.

The Diamantina Health Care Museum occupies the former Dispenser's House, a timber building with a hipped corrugated iron roof set on concrete stumps near the Cornwall Street gate of the Princess Alexandra Hospital. A gabled bay with four windows faces east, and verandahs run north and south, the southern enclosed with timber-framed windows and the northern with glass louvres. Inside are timber-lined walls, timber floors and ceilings, and French doors with transom lights.

The original Diamantina Hospital for Chronic Diseases was founded in 1901, though it grew from an orphanage that operated since 1864. This surviving building from that complex now houses the museum, which opened to document Queensland's medical past.

The house takes its name from Lady Diamantina Bowen, wife of Queensland's first governor, whose name was also given to the orphanage that preceded the hospital. It served as the dispenser's residence, and from 1938 until the end of the Second World War it housed medical officers of the Brisbane General Hospital.

The museum sits within a large hospital campus and can be visited alongside other facilities in the area. Allow enough time to view the exhibits carefully and take part in guided tours if they are offered during your visit.

The house was built for Frederick Staubwasser, the hospital's head wardsman and dispenser, who asked for a cottage on the grounds when he planned to marry. He lived there until his death in 1938, after rising to superintendent.
