Health Infrastructure is planning to build a new Bankstown Hospital on a new site, which will transform the delivery of healthcare in Bankstown and the surrounding suburbs.
OVERVIEW
By 2036, the Bankstown local government area is expected to grow by about 21 per cent to nearly half a million people. To meet the growing healthcare needs of the community, Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital
needs a major expansion.
The New Bankstown Hospital will be located at the TAFE campus in Bankstown’s CBD, delivering a brand new hospital to western Sydney residents.
The location provides convenient access to public transport links for patients, staff and visitors, including bus, rail and the future Metro, while also providing opportunities for future expansion for research and education to create a new ‘health neighbourhood’ for integrated healthcare.
The NSW Government has committed $1.3 billion to redevelop the Bankstown Hospital on a new site.
BENEFITS
The project will:
- Transform the delivery of healthcare in Bankstown and its surrounding suburbs
- Give local residents access to more health services closer to home
- Offer an improved experience for patients and carers by creating a ‘health neighbourhood’ for integrated healthcare
- Provide opportunities for research and education
- Provide diverse, local job opportunities
- Deliver contemporary working environments and create new career opportunities through an increased capacity for research, education and training.
SCOPE
The scope for the new Bankstown Hospital will be determined through the planning process, and is expected to include:
- Expanded emergency services
- Intensive care
- Surgery and interventional procedures
- Women and children’s health
- Rehabilitation services
- Aged health
- Mental health
