Condition

Wiluna District Hospital Group (fmr) is generally in fair to good condition, with regular maintenance taking place. It has moderate integrity and authenticity. A number of changes have taken place to the place over the years to facilitate previous and current functions. The alterations - predominantly the recladding of exterior walls, the removal of some walls in the Administrative Wing, Apartment and Art Gallery, the reroofing of the Adult Training Centre and Art Gallery, and the slate and tile treatment to the verandah floors of the Administrative and Accommodation Wings - have had some impact on the authenticity of the place. The Morgue (fmr) demonstrates intervention with the 1950s interior wall and ceiling cladding and new doors.
