We are a mixed ED located in South West Sydney with a 27% Paediatric caseload.

The hospital is currently being redeveloped and we will be welcoming a brand-new ED, due for completion end of 2021. This will be an 82-bed department with associated 25- bed EDSSU.
The new ED is part of a massive hospital expansion with new and enhanced paediatrics, mental health services, ICU and OT.
The redevelopment will include a Research Institute developed in conjunction with local university partners.
