The place is representative of the community's co-operation and values, and the implementation of health services in Corrigin.
The red face brick construction has an orange coloured tile roof. The three room frontage is balanced by a central recessed entry off a verandah with the portico projecting toward the street. The portico has a flat roof and the remainder of the roof is a hipped construction. Three slender concrete columns support the flat roof on each side.
The CWA was instrumental in initiating action for infant health services in Corrigin. At a meeting of delegates from Corrigin, Quairading, Bruce Rock, Narembeen, Kondinin and Kulin in 1946, a local committee was formed. Dr Stang was in attendance. A vehicle was purchased, and a travelling circuit was conducted by Sister N Wilson, the demand was so strong that Quairading and Bruce Rock set up their own clinics. At a meeting in 1948, it was mooted that the Roads Board be asked for land. The Corrigin Roads Board granted 1/2 acre of land. At the 1949, Annual General Meeting, a committee for Building funds was elected, and organised the construction of the Corrigin Infant Health centre. The building and fittings cost £4300. Except for a £1000 loan from the Roads Board the remainder of the money was raised by local fundraising and donations. On the 13 October 1950, the Medical Supervisor of the Infant Health Services, Dr Stang, laid the foundation stone. On 19 December, the same day as the school and the police station, the Ministerial contingent also opened the Infant Health Centre.
