 The lazaret on Fantome Island (1939–73) demonstrates that non-European Hansen's disease (leprosy) patients were kept at different facilities from European patients.It also provides evidence of the significant work undertaken by religious orders with non-European patients in Queensland, including the Order of Our Lady Help of Christians, and the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary.The remnants of both the lock hospital and the lazaret demonstrate the minimal financial commitment and concern of past governments towards non-European patients.
