The NSW Government is investing $120M in the upgrade of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals to provide expanded and contemporary acute medical and surgical capacity.
The project will include 60 additional beds across Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals.
The plans show the area for the planned upgrades, which will deliver modern health care facilities to service one of the country’s fastest-growing communities.
A mix of new and refurbished clinical areas and support spaces will form part of the redevelopment.
Welcoming and culturally inclusive spaces for consumers, staff, and visitors will be central to the planning and design process.
Staff, stakeholders, and the community will continue to be consulted as the project progresses.
Planning and design will continue throughout 2025, with construction timeframes to be finalised as part of planning and once a builder has been appointed.
Construction work will be carried out in stages to minimise disruption to clinical services, which will remain operational throughout the redevelopment.
The project will build on the $700M expansion of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals completed in 2020 which has expanded capacity at both hospitals.
This included a new Emergency Department (ED), cancer centre, and inpatient facilities at Blacktown Hospital and additional renal dialysis and inpatient facilities at Mount Druitt Hospital.
The redevelopment is being delivered by Health Infrastructure and Western Sydney Local Health District.
This redevelopment is part of the NSW Government’s delivery of more than $3B in hospital infrastructure across western Sydney, including:
• $1.3B for the New Bankstown Hospital.
• $550M for the Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment.
• $910M for the new Rouse Hill Hospital.
• $120M for additional treatment spaces for Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals.
• $350M for the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment.
Member for Mount Druitt, Edmond Atalla said; “I’m delighted to see continued investment in Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals to support our growing area. I, along with the community look forward to seeing this project take shape as the planning and design process progresses.
“The Blacktown and Mount Druitt project is estimated to support approximately 200 direct jobs with the potential for supporting hundreds of indirect jobs.”
Graeme Loy, Chief Executive, Western Sydney Local Health District said the expansion will strengthen the services available to the people of Mount Druitt making a more specialised level of care available to the local community.
