Women and Babies Hospital - Webuild commences construction on Osborne Park Hospital Expansion

Webuild has officially commenced construction on the major expansion of Osborne Park Hospital, a significant component of the Western Australian Government’s $1.8 billion New Women and Babies Hospital Project. 

Located within the Osborne Park Hospital precinct in Stirling, the redevelopment features two key new buildings. 

The six-level main clinical building will provide: 

  • expanded women and newborn inpatient facilities 
  • a mother baby unit to support the mental health of expectant and new mothers 
  • a family birth centre 
  • obstetrics theatres 
  • pharmacy 
  • outpatient clinics 

 

Another four-level designed building will be constructed on-site to house support services for the entire campus, including a new kitchen, pathology and sterilisation services. 

Webuild Project Director Brendan Sweeney said the project represents a major redevelopment that will integrate directly with the hospital’s existing operations, services and campus circulation. 

This expansion will provide modern healthcare facilities for women, families and newborns, enhancing services and choice, while ensuring continuity of existing hospital operations”, Mr Sweeney said. 

Early site activities commenced in 2025, including service identification, diversions, and other enabling works to prepare the precinct for major construction. 

Over the next six months, planned construction works include: 

  • further enabling works to maintain continuous hospital operations during construction 
  • site clearing and bulk earthworks 
  • piling for the new buildings 
  • construction of a new permanent car park for staff and visitors along Osborne Place 
  • assembly of the project’s first tower crane. 

 

The Osborne Park Hospital expansion is scheduled for completion in 2029.
