St John of God Health Care is marking major milestones in the construction of two new state-of-the-art hospitals in Perth.
Significant progress has been made on both the new St John of God Midland Private Hospital, which recently reached its structural “topping out” milestone, and the Orthonova Orthopaedic Hospital, where construction has officially commenced following a ceremonial blessing and sod turning at the Murdoch Health and Knowledge Precinct.
Opening in August 2026, the new St John of God Midland Private Hospital will deliver expanded access to private health care in Perth’s eastern corridor.
Located just two blocks from the current Midland Public and Private Hospital campus, the purpose-built facility will include 123 inpatient beds, an ICU and coronary care unit, six operating theatres, day surgery, and the region’s first interventional cardiology services.
From mid-2026, the Western Australian Government will assume full use of the 60 private beds at the existing co-located campus, which will transition to a 367-bed public hospital.
After this time, the new St John of God Midland Private Hospital will become the region’s primary site for private health care, ensuring continuity of care for private patients while helping to expand capacity in the public system.
Meanwhile in Murdoch, construction is underway at the Orthonova Orthopaedic Hospital, a joint initiative between St John of God Health Care and some of Perth’s leading orthopaedic surgeons.
Set to become WA’s newest centre of excellence in orthopaedic care, Orthonova will provide highly specialised, personalised treatment supported by the latest surgical technology and a strong focus on research, innovation, and clinical excellence.
“These developments represent a major investment in the future of health care across Perth and its surrounding regions, delivering purpose-built facilities that meet the growing needs of our communities,” St John of God Health Care group chief executive Bryan Pyne said.
“They also underscore the vital partnership between the private and public sectors – providing patients with greater choice and value while helping to ease pressure on the public system.”
