One of the joint venture partners chosen to build perth‘s new maternity hospital has entered voluntary administration after months of uncertainty, but the Western Australian government is adamant the project remains on track.
Global management firm FTI Consulting has been appointed to examine the financial position of builder Roberts Co and its parent entity, RCAH Group.
Roberts Co was chosen alongside European construction giant Webuild as joint venture partners for the hospital in December 2024, tasked with building a replacement for the ageing King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH).
The government wants the $1.8 billion Women and Babies Hospital to be co-located with Fiona Stanley Hospital (FSH) in Murdoch.
But RCAH Group was recently wound down, with its New South Wales arm sold to a Middle East developer.
The Victorian arm of the business entered administration in March, while the WA branch followed suit last week.
