New NSW pathology hub to launch in Westmead Hospital Precinct

The Westmead laboratory conducts 3.5 million pathology-related tests per year.

The Australian government is set to establish a new $321m (A$492m) statewide pathology hub at Westmead Hospital Precinct in New South Wales.

The hub will include a new build for the Institute of Clinical Pathology and Medical Research.

It will also include an upgrade to the high-security PC4 biocontainment laboratory, which is used to test, isolate and research high-risk infectious diseases that have the potential to be a major infection threat.

There are over 100,000 clinical and scientific investigations undertaken each day in NSW, with 70 per cent of medical decisions relying on pathology investigations and results.

Meanwhile, the Westmead laboratory conducts 3.5 million pathology-related tests per year.

The statewide pathology hub is designed to offer local and statewide clinical pathology, public health, medical research, and specialised support services on the Westmead campus.
