"As the Yanchep region continues to expand, access to timely, local and integrated healthcare becomes increasingly important," ECU Executive Dean for the School of Medical and Health Sciences, Professor Moira Sim said.
"The additional health and community services planned for ECU Yanchep Health Centre West will help ensure residents can receive high-quality care close to home, while also strengthening prevention, early intervention and overall community wellbeing."
The Western Australian government has committed $8.1 million to develop the ECU Yanchep Health Centre to provide services to address the health and mental health issues faced by the local community and provide training opportunities for the future health workforce.
