Princess Alexandra Hospital’s stroke unit in Woolloongabba has been recognised through the World Stroke Organisation Angels Awards after receiving awards in every quarter of 2025.
Four Quarters Of Recognition For Woolloongabba Stroke Unit
Princess Alexandra Hospital’s stroke unit in Woolloongabba recorded two Gold awards and two Platinum awards across 2025 under the World Stroke Organisation Angels Awards.
The hospital achieved recognition in all four quarters of the year, making it the only site in Queensland to reach this level. Nationally, it was one of nine hospitals to receive four awards in 2025.
A quarter-by-quarter listing shows Gold in Q1 2025, Platinum in Q2 2025, Platinum in Q3 2025 and Gold in Q4 2025.
How The Awards Are Determined
The Angels Awards are issued on a quarterly basis and assess stroke care using benchmark criteria linked to clinical performance.
Hospitals are required to meet minimum patient thresholds and submit data through recognised registries. Award levels include Gold and Platinum.
Coordinated Stroke Care Across Hospital Teams
Stroke care at the Woolloongabba hospital involves coordination between ambulance services, emergency departments, radiology and specialist stroke teams.
Earlier reporting on the unit’s accreditation also outlined the role of medical, nursing and allied health professionals in managing patients from admission through to discharge.
Three referral sites to Princess Alexandra Hospital — QEII, Ipswich and Toowoomba hospitals — also received an award for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Earlier Milestones Leading Into 2025
The March 19, 2026 update follows earlier stroke-care milestones at the hospital.
In December 2024, the unit was certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Unit, becoming the second site in Queensland to achieve that accreditation and one of seven nationally.
In August 2025, the hospital was also recognised under the Australian Stroke Coalition’s Stroke Unit Certification program. It was reported as one of six hospitals in Queensland to receive certification and one of four comprehensive stroke services recognised for stroke care.

The 2025 award record places Princess Alexandra Hospital among a small group of Australian hospitals to receive four World Stroke Organisation Angels Awards within a single year.
