Health Infrastructure is planning to build a new hospital at Rouse Hill to provide expanded clinical services and capacity to meet the healthcare needs of the growing north western Sydney community.
OVERVIEW
Rouse Hill Hospital will establish an innovative and research driven hospital for northwest Sydney.
The NSW Government has committed $700 million to develop Rouse Hill Hospital.
BENEFITS
The project will:
- Provide an integrated and networked facility with tertiary services at Blacktown and Westmead hospitals
- Deliver a digital hospital with the latest technology and interconnectivity including digital outreach into the community
- Provide ambulatory care services close to where people live, including diagnostics, observation, treatment and rehabilitation
- Include easy access to transport, including between hospitals for patients and staff
- Have partnerships with primary care to ensure a range of acute and community-care based services are available across the community
- Develop a local health hub
- Deliver an integrated and networked digital Rouse Hill hospital and health precinct that will deliver more than a stand-alone traditional hospital.

- An emergency department and primary access clinic
- In-patient beds and a day surgery unit
- Short stay medical assessment services
