The NSW Government is investing $120M in the upgrade of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals to provide expanded and contemporary acute inpatient capacity. The project will include 60 additional beds across Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals.
This additional 60 beds for Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals are part of the NSW Government’s delivery of more than $3.4B in hospital infrastructure across western Sydney over the next four years.
The redevelopment at Blacktown Hospital includes a mix of fit-for-purpose rooms supporting recovery. The project will also include expanded clinical and non-clinical support service spaces.
Staff, stakeholders and the community are invited to attend an information session at Blacktown Hospital to meet the project team and learn more:
- Blacktown Hospital Foyer – outside Gloria Jean’s café.
- Thursday, 14 August, 11:00am – 1:00pm.
Further consultation, planning and design will continue throughout the year, with construction timeframes to be finalised as part of the overall planning and once a builder has been appointed.
Work to deliver the project will be carried out in stages to minimise disruption to clinical services, which will remain operational throughout the redevelopment.
The $120M upgrade of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals is being delivered by Health Infrastructure and Western Sydney Local Health District. Planning for the expanded Mount Druitt Hospital is progressing, which will include additional medical and surgical capacity.
