History
Western Region Health Centre has a long and proud history having begun in 1964 as a Trade Union Clinic and Research Centre. It was originally established by the Australian Meat Industry Employees Union (A.M.I.E.U.) to provide free health services to the working people of the western suburbs. It provided a range of medical services including treatments of industrial accidents and diseases, and research into their cause and possible solutions.
