Construction underway on new Paraburdoo Hospital

Construction is now underway on the new Paraburdoo Hospital.

Early works have commenced on site, with the demolition of the northern hospital block, construction of the new hospital building ground pad, and the establishment of temporary parking facilities.

Once works are completed, the new hospital will feature a new emergency department, a two-bed short stay unit, and integrated primary and community care services, including a private GP clinic.

The facility will also deliver a flexible model of care, enabling patients to access a range of short-stay inpatient services, assessment, treatment, and ongoing care closer to home, reducing the need to travel for care.

The new hospital will be built on the existing health service site, with access to the current hospital maintained throughout construction to ensure continuity of care for the local community.

Scheduled for completion in 2028, the new facility will provide modern healthcare services closer 
to home and meet the growing needs of Paraburdoo.

Westen Australia based builder, Cooper & Oxley, has been appointed to deliver works for the Paraburdoo Hospital under an Early Contractor Involvement procurement process.

The Paraburdoo Hospital project, delivered in partnership with Rio Tinto, includes a $20 million contribution through Rio Tinto's $250 million commitment to the government's Resources Community Investment Initiative.
