Construction has officially commenced on the Byford Health Hub, a major new healthcare project set to transform access to services for the Serpentine–Jarrahdale community and Perth’s rapidly growing southern suburbs.
Premier Roger Cook marked the milestone on site on January 14, as he was joined by Minister for Health Meredith Hammat and Minister for Health Infrastructure John Carey.
The Premier was welcomed by the East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) leadership team, including EMHS Board Chair Sally Carbon OAM, Acting Chief Executive Philip Aylward, Executive Director of the Armadale Kalamunda Group Alisha Thompson, and Acting Director of Clinical Strategy, Planning and Performance Ann Blunden.
The commencement of construction represents a significant step forward in delivering a modern, integrated model of care designed to meet the needs of one of Western Australia’s fastest-growing regions.
In a first for Western Australia, the Byford Health Hub will provide a single-entry point where residents can access a wide range of primary care, community, social and specialist health services in one convenient location, close to home.
As Byford and the surrounding southern suburbs continue to expand, EMHS is proud to be leading the delivery of this important project, supporting improved access to high-quality healthcare for local families now and into the future.
