New Laverton Hospital powers up

Construction of the new $63.6 million Laverton Hospital has reached a key milestone with the building now connected to mains power.

The milestone comes as the program of works moves beyond structural works, with external cladding, glass installation, internal walls, and ceiling framing underway.

Once complete, the new Laverton Hospital will provide modern emergency and contemporary multidisciplinary ambulatory care facilities, specialist facilities for visiting clinicians as well as outpatient services for community health, mental health, and space for an onsite private GP clinic.

The new hospital is being delivered by ADCO Constructions Pty Ltd and includes a contribution of $16.8 million from the Albanese Government's Community Health and Hospitals Program.

The project is part of the State Government's record $4.9 billion health infrastructure program, building new hospitals and upgrading hospitals across the State.
