The company was chosen as the preferred contractor for the Geraldton Health Campus project in December last year, months after the government initiated the request for proposal stage in May 2023. 

According to the WA Government, this redevelopment will offer opportunities for Aboriginal businesses via various subcontracts.  

Preparatory work for the project has been completed, including the reconfiguration of the main entrance, the addition of 400 car bays, and a new ambulance entry. 

WA Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson said: “This major investment will improve access to important health services, including an expanded emergency department, new intensive care unit, and mental health service. 

“It’s an investment in our future to ensure Mid-West patients have access to the highest quality healthcare for years to come.” 

WA Premier Roger Cook added: “Today is a significant day for Geraldton, with ground officially broken on the main works of this A$166.1m upgrade. Everyone deserves high-quality healthcare, regardless of where they live, and this project will benefit locals for decades to come.”
