Two new aged care homes have been announced in Mandurah with a capacity of 260.
Member for Canning Andrew Hastie made the announcement this morning, with $967 million being committed by the federal government.
Mr Hastie says the places will provide a much-needed boost to aged care services in the Peel region.
"This is historic investment for our region," he said.
"Over 17.5 million every year to deliver 264 local residential aged care places for people in Mandurah.
"If we actually have options for people in the local community it will make that move much smoother and they'll be less anxious around the transition.
"So this not only has benefits for people that need the additional assistance of the aged care, there are also mental health benefits as well.
"I'm just really excited for our community."
Two new facilities will be built, with one in Halls Head and one in Dawesville.
No word yet on when construction will commence.
