Health care closer to home in the South West
At $35.9 million, this bold vision is the
largest scale redevelopment
of the South West Health Campus (SWHC) containing:
During 2012 we're making the South West's health dreams reality
- building leading edge medical facilities and delivering
specialist services which would not otherwise have been available
to local people.
We will deliver local and high quality specialist treatment for
more seriously ill patients, reducing the stress of long and often
repeat trips to Perth.

Bunbury Hospital and the WA Cancer and Palliative Care Network

The site aims to provide a one-stop-shop for finding and
accessing patient information and services relating to cancer
diagnosis and local treatment in the South West of Western
Australia.
And its another part of the St John of God way of caring
for the thousands of people in our region.
What we're doing now
Unhampered by heavy rain and overwhelming heat at the start
of building in January 2012, work continues in earnest on the
exciting and essential redevelopment at the South West Health
Campus (SWHC).
The changing the face of the SWHC begins the start of
another chapter in our ongoing investment in the health of the
South West community we are a part of and serve, with the
addition of a single storey 868sqm Coronary Care Unit and
a two-storey 1450sqm Comprehensive Cancer Centre.
Follow our progress in the latest
monthly redevelopment update to find out more about how we're
building great facilities to give public and private patients
access to quality care nearer to their families and support
networks.
