Body worn camera trial underway at Liverpool, Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospitals
Five hospitals are currently involved in the initiative.
A 12-month trial of body-worn cameras in New South Wales hospitals has expanded to include Liverpool and Bankstown-Lidcombe hospitals.
Minister for Health Ryan Park said five hospitals across northern Sydney, south western Sydney, and the Illawarra are currently involved in the trial.
Security staff in participating hospitals are equipped with body-worn cameras, which can be activated in response to incidents involving aggression or violence.
The trial will undergo an independent evaluation once completed to assess its effectiveness.
The initiative began in December 2024 at the Royal North Shore Hospital.
