Western Hospital History
Since its official opening in 1974 Western Hospital has a long and successful history of providing an Acute Care facility to the Western suburbs community

Following its takeover by the ACHA group in the 90s the hospital was closed and sold for redevelopment in 2003

Spearheaded by Dr Richard Noble a group of loyal staff and committed health care professionals banded together to lease and reopen the now only remaining acute care private hospital in the NorthWestern suburbs

The doctors provided the initial funding and guarantees of more staff gave their time some leaving secure positions and working without wages

After a mammoth effort and many challenges the hospital reopened on 11th August 18 days after the closure Their passion was rewarded when they achieved 91 percent utilization of initial capacity within six weeks of reopening

The owner management team determined that under their guardianship the hospital would

Provide a trustworthy caring and friendly
environment

Achieve and maintain the highest level of
accreditation and compliance possible to it within
ten months

Be commercially viable to ensure it survived and
could reinvest in improved facilities and equipment

Contribute to the community maintaining its
reputation as a community hospital

Immediately after recommissioning the team undertook lengthy negotiations with financiers authorities and the property owners which culminated in the purchase of the Hospital property on 4 June 2004 thus protecting its continued existence as a hospital

Ownership of the hospital allowed the team to expand and improve the allied health services and to commence upgrading the facility

By combining community spirit caring and skillful staff experienced management and successful proprietors Western will continue providing outstanding care for patients rewarding careers for staff and sustained growth
