Armadale Kelmscott Memorial Hospital
The Armadale Kelmscott Memorial Hospital is one of four general hospitals designated to undergo a role change which will enable the health campus to provide for the health needs of its population and therefore to provide care closer to where people live.
The existing public hospital will be further developed in stages to a general hospital, to accommodate additional capacity and complexity, to improve community access to hospital care and to accommodate Western Australia’s population growth and changing demographics.
Stage 1 of the development will include:
- An expansion of the emergency department and related works
Below are links to media releases relating to Armadale developments.
As projects develop, additional information will be available.Bentley Hospital
The Bentley Hospital will undergo a role change to become a specialist hospital focusing on rehabilitation and mental health, along with some ambulatory procedures for the local catchment. This role change will allow patients to be treated in a facility specially designed to accommodate their needs.
As projects develop, additional information will be available.
Fiona Stanley Hospital
The Health Reform Committee’s final report, released in March 2004, recommended the construction of a new Southern Tertiary Hospital (Fiona Stanley Hospital). This new tertiary level hospital in Murdoch is to provide secondary services to the local area, tertiary services for the south metropolitan area and some statewide services.
The Fiona Stanley Hospital is to be developed in two stages, comprising approximately 643 beds in stage 1 and expanding to over 1000 beds in stage 2.
