- Laverton residents and nearby communities will benefit from fit-for-purpose facility providing care close to home
- The new facility will provide emergency care, an ambulatory care wing and suite of primary care facilities
The Goldfields region is set to benefit from a newly constructed Laverton Hospital, with a tender for construction to be released by the end of the month.
Planned works will optimise emergency care facilities and will include new beds, resuscitation bays and acute treatment rooms.
The new Laverton Hospital will include a new ambulatory care wing, which will accommodate population health, child health, visiting mental health services and visiting allied health services - covering physiotherapy, occupational therapy and dietetics.
The project is part of the McGowan Government's commitment to improve health infrastructure, ensuring Goldfields' residents have access to a contemporary facility that meets growing demand.
As stated by Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson:
"The Laverton Hospital upgrade is an important project, so it is great to see it take this exciting step forward.
"Laverton residents and nearby communities will benefit from the new hospital, which will include a suite of primary care facilities.
"The upgrades will further support the team at Laverton Hospital to improve the patient experience for residents and visitors in and around the Laverton community.
"The contemporary and modern facilities of the new hospital will meet the growing demand in the region."
As stated by Kalgoorlie MLA Ali Kent:
"This is a wonderful announcement for the Laverton community and wider Goldfields area.
"The McGowan Government has always been committed to this redevelopment, and has allocated an additional $4.5 million for the project as part of the Mid-Year Review.
"I have been advocating for the project as the Local Member, and I look forward to seeing the new facility being built"
