Ipswich Hospital Museum is located on the ground floor of the renovated Jubilee building, on the grounds of Ipswich Hospital (adjacent to Court St). It opened on 3 March 2010, exactly 150 years to the day when the hospital admitted its first patient.

Ipswich Hospital Museum Inc. is a non-profit organisation that is dedicated to collecting, preserving, researching and exhibiting artefacts of Ipswich Hospital that best illustrate advances in medicine, nursing and hospital care within the Ipswich community. The Museum addresses contemporary issues as well as providing linkages to the wealth of past hospital practices and staff.

The history of the Ipswich Hospital began before the Colony of Queensland was established.

In 1856 community leaders of the colonial township of Ipswich petitioned the New South Wales Governor for a land grant for a public hospital.  A public meeting was held; a committee was elected; personal subscriptions were promised; community fundraisers were held; and government funds were allocated.  By 1860 the Ipswich Hospital and Benevolent Asylum treated the first patients, and the hospital has continued to serve Ipswich for more than 160 years.
