Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia, as well as the capital and most populous city of the Australian state of Queensland. It is set close to the Pacific Ocean, and is situated on the Brisbane River on plains between Moreton Bay and the Great Dividing Range in south-eastern Queensland.

Holy Spirit Home is located in the suburb of Carseldine, which is 14 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD.

Carseldine is well serviced by public transport with easy access to both bus and rail (Carseldine Station) services providing direct access into the heart of Brisbane. In addition, the main northern highway runs through the area and provides access to the local coastal community.  The Gateway Motorway is about five minutes away providing a quick trip of about 20 minutes by car to both the international and domestic airports.
