Hospitals in Western Australia Hospital services in W.A. are provided by both the public and private sectors. Public hospitals are located at strategic locations across Perth and in many of the medium to large country towns. A number of hospitals in the country have progressively closed due to economics, better centralised services and reliable modern transport. Many (but not all) private hospitals were established, funded and operated by the Sisters and Brothers of various religious orders |
