Completed project - Merredin Health Service

Project overview

The refurbishment of the Merredin Health Service began at the end of 2016 and was completed in 2019. 

Upgrades include the new emergency department, upgrades to palliative care, medical imaging, sterilising services, and administration, kitchen and laundry facilities. There is also a new building for Ambulatory Care services including Aboriginal health and outpatient services such as physiotherapy, school and child health clinics, mental health, telehealth facilities and consulting rooms for visiting specialists.

Artwork and landscaping leading to the main entrance are themed around the natural environment of the Merredin district.

and complements the original building
