The station was opened on 1 September 1989 and named after Ken McIver, a long serving steam engine driver and Labor member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly for Northam and Avon from 1968 until 1986. The station was purpose-built to provide access directly to Royal Perth Hospital.[1]
It has received Airport line services since 9 October 2022,[2][3] Ellenbrook line services since 8 December 2024 and Thornlie-Cockburn line services since 8 June 2025.
The station has a pedestrian underpass on the eastern end of the platforms. A pedestrian level crossing at the western end of the station was closed in 2026 due to safety concerns.[4]
