Steve Catania MLA, Member for Midland welcomes the announcement that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will commit $200 million to upgrade the Midland Hospital.

Steve Catania MLA, Member for Midland joined Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Premier Roger Cook alongside local federal Member for Hasluck, Tania Lawernce MP and Labor candidate for Bullwinkel, Trish Cook to announce that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will commit $200 million to upgrade the Midland Hospital. In addition to the commitment by the Albanese Labor Government, the Cook Labor Government will contribute an extra $50 million on top of the $105 million committed to upgrading the Midland Health Campus' Emergency Department, bringing the total amount to $355 million.

Comments attributed to Midland MLA Steve Catania:

“This $355 million redevelopment of St John of God Midland will significantly boost capacity with funding for more beds, operating theatres to undertake more complex procedures, and a redesigned obstetrics unit. These upgrades will greatly benefit our community and future-proof the hospital against a growing population.

"The Cook Labor Government's confirmation of an additional $50 million on top of the $105 million already committed to upgrade the Emergency Department and specialised mental health unit at Midland Hospital is exciting news and proof that we will never stop working towards ensuring the people in the electorate of Midland live in the healthiest state in the country.

“This is another example of the Cook Labor Government delivering for the electorate of Midland. I thank the Albanese Government for their backing of our local infrastructure. I look forward to working with all stakeholders to deliver on these essential upgrades."
