relate to the patients at the sanatorium, other graves are linked to returned servicemen. The majority of the graves associated with the Sanatorium are mounds identified simply by a cast iron marker bearing the plot number as most were far from family and friends. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission lists 42 war graves at the cemetery. Heritage listing In 2002 the Wooroloo Sanatorium and Cemetery were listed on Western Australia's Heritage Register for the contribution made by the places to Western Australia's cultural heritage. Environment and Heritage Minister Judy Edwards said “both the Wooroloo Sanatorium and Wooroloo Cemetery are significant reminders of the virulence of tuberculosis between 1915 and 1959. It is the only cemetery in WA to have been established to initially serve a hospital. In addition, the large number of burials at the site between 1915 and 1925 provide a valuable insight into the social and economic circumstances of WA during that time.” Current use By the 1960s, the sanatorium was no longer required and the institution was operated as a geriatric and a district hospital. The Wooroloo Sanatorium was subsequently converted to a minimum-security prison farm after the Department of Corrective Services officially acquired the site in June 1970. The Wooroloo Cemetery is administered by the Shire of Mundaring and still available for interments.
