Construction of the new Integrated Services Building at Liverpool Hospital, the centrepiece of the first phase of the $830 million
Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct, is now complete.
Today, Premier Chris Minns and Health Minister Ryan Park toured the five-storey facility, with hospital departments set to move into the new building in the coming weeks.
Key features of the new building include an expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, new birthing suites, and a centralised Pathology Department to enhance specialised care.
The redevelopment creates a hub for innovation and medical research, providing a world-class environment for clinicians and staff while enhancing existing expertise at Liverpool Hospital.
Anticipating a population of over 1.2 million in South Western Sydney by the early 2030s, the facility will support the needs of the growing and diverse community through culturally appropriate care, health literacy initiatives, and multicultural services.
A new Emergency Department entrance and drop-off zone will open in 2025 as part of the ongoing redevelopment of the ED, further improving patient access and emergency services.
Since construction began in 2022, the redevelopment has delivered enhanced facilities across the campus, including the new building, a multi-storey car park completed in 2022, and refurbishments throughout the campus.
Vibrant artworks, co-designed by Aboriginal and multicultural communities as part of the project’s Arts in Health Strategy, are bringing connection to Country, cultural safety, and joy to people accessing the new building.
Phase 2 of the redevelopment is expected to begin this year and includes new inpatient units, an integrated cancer centre including the Australian Cancer Research Foundation’s Oasis Wellness Centre, and expanded women’s and children’s ambulatory care. The ED will also be progressively expanded, with Phase 2 construction expected to be completed in 2027.
The project is also supporting local employment, with approximately 75 per cent of the construction workforce coming from Western and South Western Sydney.
A ‘Welcome All Cultures’ Community Open Day will be held on 19 October 2024, offering a preview of the new building before it opens to the public.
