The Dayman Island facility closed after the enacting of the Leprosy Act 1892, which was prompted by the diagnosis of the first European with Hansen's disease in 1891.The 1892 Act, among other things, allowed the establishment of lazarets, required the reporting of Hansen's disease where it was suspected and permitted the removal of a patient to, and detention in, a lazaret. During April 1941 houses for married couples employed at the lazaret were under construction. The word cemetery (from Greek κοιμητήριον, "sleeping place") implies that the land is specifically designated as a burial ground and originally applied to the Roman catacombs. It was run by the Queensland State government and closed in 1959. By June 1948 radio communication with Palm Island was installed, along with a 16 mm movie plant for entertainment of the patients.Although attempts to improve patient accommodation on Fantome Island failed, medical advances were occurring in the treatment of Hansen's disease.

In conjunction with ongoing Australian fears about non-European migrants, and a perceived association of Hansen's disease with non-Europeans, Chinese and South Sea Islander people in particular were blamed as a source of the disease. Two were qualified nursing sisters and one a pharmacist. In 1889 a leprosarium was established on Dayman Island in the Torres Strait for the reception of non-European lepers, principally Chinese people. Fantome Island, located north of Townsville approximately 22 km off the coast of Queensland near Ingham and 6.5 kilometres north-west of Palm Island in the Great Palm group of islands, was the site of a lock hospital between 1928 and 1945 and a lazaret (or leprosarium) between 1939 and 1973.

By the mid-1950s conditions on the island had improved somewhat.Originally, isolation was considered the only way to contain Hansen's Disease. The monument commemorates the patients and people who worked at the Fantome Island lazaret between 1939 and 1973. The Peel Island Lazaret, in Moreton Bay, was established for the detention and treatment of suffers from Hansen's Disease, more commonly known as leprosy. Noel (Laddie) Agnew was 11 when transferred to Peel Island from the Stradbroke Island Lazaret. Of these, 250 died and were buried on the island at a nearby cemetery. These include a well, concrete slabs, a brick building, cemetery, and stone jetty. It was argued that Fantome Island had outlived its usefulness, as continuous dosage with sulphone drugs for three months or more rendered the vast majority of Hansen's disease patients non-infectious.The lazaret closed on 3 August 1973 and in mid August the complex was burnt by the Health Department.In memory of the patients, Sisters of Our Lady Mary of Christians, Francisan Missionaries of Mary and staff who lived and worked on Fantome Island, and in respect for those who died here from 1939 - 1973Erected on the original site of the Mary Immaculate Church on Monday 31st May 2010 by Bishop Michael PutneyMonument details supplied by Monument Australia - www.monumentaustralia.org.au© Monument Australia 2010 - 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED - Designed by
