Project Overview:
The 20-unit facility is designed to provide long-term, high-support accommodation for adults living with spinal cord injuries or neurological conditions in a nurturing environment.
MSWA will oversee the facility's operations, providing round-the-clock care through its dedicated team of healthcare professionals. The facility will prioritise accommodating the remaining long-term Quadriplegic Centre Clients, who have been consulted throughout the development process.
After years of meticulous planning, MSWA is thrilled to embark on this significant infrastructure project, expanding its footprint to 22 facilities dedicated to supporting individuals with neurological conditions across the state.

“We are pleased the State Government shares our vision to provide the best possible home in this high-support accommodation facility for residents of the Quadriplegic Centre and other West Australians impacted by neurological conditions and spinal cord injury.”
“Our team is eagerly focused on delivering the world-class center our future residents want and deserve as quickly as possible. We extend our gratitude to the Department of Health and the West Australian Government for partnering with us to deliver on our commitment and acknowledge our MSWA community supporters without whom this impactful investment would not be possible."
