Located in the median of the Mitchell Freeway, the station consists of an island platform connected to the east and west by an underpass.

The station was originally built on the western side of the Mitchell Freeway reserve to limit the distance between the car park and platform.

[1] It is owned by the Public Transport Authority (PTA), a state government agency,[2] and is part of the Transperth system.

It consists of vertical strips of painted images of landscapes near each station from Perth to Clarkson along the Yanchep line.

[5] Currambine station was part of the 1989 Northern Suburbs Transit System Master Plan.

It called for a station at Burns Beach Road to be completed by the end of 1993, a year later than the rest of the line.

[9][10] During planning for an extension of the line to Clarkson, it was decided to run the railway down the middle of the future Mitchell Freeway reserve.

It was also found that the "transfer penalty" was not very significant, as the two most heavily used stations on the line – Warwick and Whitfords – had over 60% of passengers come via driving or walking, necessitating crossing over a bridge across the freeway.

[16] In celebration of the opening, travel on Transperth train services was free that day, costing the state $50,000.

During weekdays between peak hours, on weekends and public holidays, trains stop at Currambine station every 15 minutes.
