THE CHAPEL & RED CROSS FACILITY
The hospital's chapel was completed in 1944. It has a Catholic altar and confessional at one end and a Protestant altar at the other. Apart from the imitation-tile roof (which replaced the original asbestos sheeting), the chapel remains essentially unchanged.

Greenslopes was the only military hospital without a Red Cross patient recreation facility. The War Services Homes Commission initially rejected the Red Cross's request for adjacent land. But, after the Queensland Premier intervened, the Red Cross was allocated land to build a facility that included a hall, library, billiards room, reading rooms, handcraft store, workroom, and storeroom.

The chapel is an unusual design, having been built to cater to the multidenominational needs of a military hospital. It featured a Roman Catholic altar and confessional at the northern end of the building and a Protestant altar at the southern end. Timber pews with moveable backs allow flexibility for the seating arrangements in the chapel which is still in use. The Australian and British flags are displayed prominently near one of the altars.
