Construction begins on the new Mandurah Hospital site as the WA Labor government confirms an additional $950 million in funding, according to multiple reports. West Australian Health Infrastructure Minister John Carey says the government has “capacity in the budget for health,” framing the funding as part of ongoing investment in the hospital project.
All sources describe the same announcement tied to the start of works at the new location. They report that the additional allocation is intended to support the construction of the new facility, rather than a separate or unrelated health program. While the articles focus on the funding figure and the minister’s comments, they do not provide further project specifications or timelines in the excerpts provided.
Overall, the reporting aligns on three core elements: the start of construction at the new Mandurah Hospital site, the announcement of $950 million in additional Labor funding, and John Carey’s statement that health spending remains affordable within the budget.
