Before a hospital was established in Armadale, anyone in the area requiring medical attention beyond what the localdoctor could provide had to travel into Perth.[4] In 1924, thegovernment made available an annual subsidy of£A 50, equivalent toA$4,600 in 2022, to encourage the establishment of aprivate hospital.[4]
In 1946, the Armadale Kelmscott Road Board planned to purchase the private hospital, and open apublic hospital at the site.[5] Anincorporated society would be formed to own and run the premises.[5] In March 1946, the hospital building was taken over as a district war memorial hospital.[6] It was initially operated under a lease while funds were being raised to buy the building.[6]
The hospital was extended with a new block, including anoperating theatre, that was opened by TheMinister for Housing, Mr. Wild, on 8 February 1953.[7] It was subsidized by a government grant of £A 4000, equivalent toA$159,000 in 2022.[7]
A major redevelopment occurred between 1999 and 2001.[1] In February 2005 the hospital took over the adjacent private facilities, previously known as the Galliers Private Hospital and the Galliers Specialist Centre.[1] In 2007, the emergency department was expanded to twice its previous size.[1]
In May 2024, MinisterMark Butler announced that anurgent care clinic will be built to reduce pressure on the Armadale Health Service.[8]
