She had worked across multiple hospitals, including the Princess Alexandra.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Princess Alexandra Hospital said they extended their “deepest sympathies to all those affected.”

The incident is being treated as a suspected murder-suicide.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli described the deaths as “distressing for everyone, especially the first responders who had to see something that no one should ever have to.”

The Airbnb property is owned by a local family who rented the home for around $1000 a night on Airbnb.

The woman and her daughter had reportedly booked the stay several months ago.

The owners of the home told 7NEWS they were “deeply saddened by the circumstances” and had no further comment at this stage.
