Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has established a Wound Healing Community Outreach Service for the general public located at the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI). 
This is an ongoing service aimed at providing advanced treatment, education, and preventive strategies to improve the quality of life of people living with chronic wounds in Brisbane and across Queensland. The Service is led by a Nurse Practitioner and is supported by a Community Development Worker and a team of researchers. It is anticipated that the Wound Healing Service will become a collaborative hub – linking existing wound care services, health care professionals, best-practice and proven research findings, and members of the community.
The Wound Healing Community Outreach Service is supported by QUT's Faculty of Health and School of Nursing.
A number of other clinical services are provided by QUT Health Clinics.
