Building better essential services

SHARE

The new Bankstown Hospital is a step closer to being delivered with the Government today announcing additional funds and the release of the master plan.

The NSW Government will invest an additional $700 million in the construction of the planned New Bankstown Hospital as part the NSW Budget.

It brings the total investment in the new south-west Sydney hospital to $2 billion, making it the
largest capital works investment in a public hospital in the state’s history.

“One of the best things about Australia is its healthcare. It’s why we’re ensuring we continue to
deliver quality, accessible and affordable healthcare services," said Premier of NSW Chris Minns.

“That starts with hospitals. The new Bankstown Hospital has been a long time coming and while there is still a long way to go, this extra funding is a big step in the right direction to getting shovels in the ground and the hospital up and running."

The new Bankstown Hospital is expected include:
•    An Emergency Department
•    Operating theatres
•    Intensive Care
•    Surgical and medical services
•    Services for women and children including maternity
•    Mental health
•    Other services to be identified as planning progresses.

This funding boost will ensure the new hospital will meet the healthcare needs of the growing community of South-West Sydney, with the Bankstown population expected to grow by 16 per cent over the next 15 years.

The hospital will be built on Chapel Road at the current TAFE NSW campus in Bankstown’s CBD.

The NSW Government is also giving the local community a first glimpse at the multi-storey hospital by releasing the master plan, showing its close connection to public transport and amenities.

Zones have also been identified for carparking and future expansion of health services.

Minister for Health Ryan Park said the release of the master plan gives the community "a first glimpse of what this new hospital will look like and the essential services it will provide".

The Bankstown community is being invited to have its say on the Master Plan through community information sessions planned at:

• Bankstown Hospital Main Foyer on Wednesday 18 June 2025, 11.00am – 1.00 pm
• Bankstown Hospital Main Foyer on Thursday 19 June 2025, 7.00am – 9.00am
• Bankstown Central shopping centre on Thursday 26 June 2025, 5pm – 7pm

The new hospital will integrate with the existing Bankstown Hospital site, which will remain as a health facility, to deliver contemporary healthcare and a better healthcare experience across a broad range of community and hospital-based services.

The budget will also deliver $100 million to relocate the TAFE NSW Bankstown campus to enable construction of the new hospital.

While a small part of the existing site will remain in use, TAFE NSW will relocate most of its training delivery for the next five years to the new Western Sydney University Tower, across the road from the existing Bankstown campus.

This will ensure local staff and students can still access brand new facilities and bespoke teaching and learning spaces in the heart of the Bankstown CBD.

Animal studies, early childhood and care, and some digital business and finance classes will move to the nearby TAFE NSW Padstow campus.
