Construction started on Perth’s $1.8B Osborne Park Hospital expansion to boost maternity care ahead of 2029’s new women and babies hospital.
Construction has begun on the A$1.8 billion expansion of Osborne Park Hospital in Perth, part of Western Australia’s plan to upgrade maternity services ahead of the new Murdoch women and babies hospital opening in 2029.
The project will add 70 beds, a family birth centre, obstetrics theatres, and outpatient clinics across two new buildings, with work progressing in stages to maintain operations.
Despite past delays and a reported A$150 million budget overrun, officials say the project remains on track under improved oversight.
The government also launched a A$140 million winter strategy to address rising ambulance ramping and emergency department pressures, though claims about emergency visits have been disputed, with official data showing 1.03 million visits in 2025.
Health Minister Meredith Hammat clarified earlier misstatements about hospital bed expansions and confirmed funding to secure up to 200 surge beds from private providers.
