Peel Health Campus is a general hospital located in the City of Mandurah, 75 km south of Perth on the doorstep of the south-west, known for its stunning beaches, internationally significant wetlands, and some of Australia's most spectacular waterways for boating, fishing and wildlife. It originally opened in 1988 as the 32-bed Mandurah District Hospital, and now operates with 206 licensed beds, bays and treatment areas. Transitioning the hospital to public hands paves the way for the hospital's redevelopment and service transformation to meet the needs of the Peel-Murray region.
