Australia unveils plans for Mount Druitt Hospital expansion

The project will deliver 60 additional beds across Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals.

The Australian Government has released initial plans for the expansion of Mount Druitt Hospital in New South Wales, part of a $77m (A$120m) investment to upgrade Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals.

The project will deliver 60 additional beds across the two sites.

“The project will expand medical and surgical capacity at both hospitals boosting healthcare access for the growing local community,” said Minister for Health, Ryan Park.

Moreover, a mix of new and refurbished clinical areas and support spaces will form part of the redevelopment.

Planning and design work will continue throughout the year, with construction timelines to be confirmed once a builder has been appointed.

Construction will take place in stages to minimise disruption, with clinical services expected to remain operational throughout the redevelopment.
