New St John Health Centre for Osborne Park Now Open
Today, Monday 11th July 2022, St John WA opens the newest of their network of Health Centres in Osborne Park.
The Centre is the 3rd of 4 planned committed as part of a Federal Government-funded trial to deliver urgent, non-emergency care to patients who may normally go to a hospital emergency department for treatment.
Urgent Care is available when it’s urgent but not an emergency for the treatment of sprains, broken bones, wounds, minor illnesses and injuries, between 8am to 9pm daily.
The new Osborne Park Health Centre (behind Subaru car dealership) has been purpose-built to cater specifically to the urgent care model. With modern treatment rooms, x-ray, casting and pathology facilities on site, it delivers quality care to patients when they need it most. In addition to offering Urgent Care, the clinic will also include traditional GP and Dental* services for day-to-day family health and dental needs.
St John WA Executive Director of Primary Health, Darren Webb, said the new Osborne Park centre offers residents in the City of Stirling and surrounding areas with a pragmatic alternative for treating non-emergency injuries.
“Based on our experience at existing locations, we expect the new Osborne Park centre to be very popular. It is essential that patients in WA have alternative healthcare options readily available,” Mr Webb said.
“The new St John Health Centre is open for extended hours, including evenings and weekends, every day of the year. For any life-threatening emergency, patients should always go straight to ED, but for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, St John Urgent Care is ready to help.”
