St John of God Subiaco Hospital breaks ground on new clinical building

St John of God Subiaco Hospital has begun foundation works on a new six-storey clinical building. The construction marks the start of Stage Three of the hospital's redevelopment project.

The new facility is intended to increase access to specialized care and expand surgical capacity. Planned features include a dedicated Heart Centre, an expanded orthopaedic surgical area, four integrated operating theatres, a Day of Surgery Admissions area, and a new chapel.

Daniel Price, the hospital's director of redevelopment, stated that the project follows planning and enabling works that began in 2018 and 2021. A groundbreaking ceremony included a formal sod-turning and a traditional Smoking Ceremony led by Theo Kearing. Representatives from the City of Subiaco and the Town of Cambridge attended the event.
