Our History
Mercy Hospital Mount Lawley was opened as St Anne's Nursing Home on 10 April 1937.
Established by the Sisters of Mercy, St Anne's was the Sisters response to meeting the areas of unmet need they saw within the Western Australian health services at the time.
The Sisters determined that if the Perth community was to receive the high quality health care they deserved, the Congregation would have to build their own hospital.
This generous, innovative and courageous response to an issue has been part of the Sisters of Mercy character since their foundation.
Today, Mercy Hospital Mount Lawley is a modern, not-for-profit private hospital that continues to proudly serve its community with the same philosophy of exceptional care started by the Sisters.
