First look at the expanded Mount Druitt Hospital

16 May 2025

The Mount Druitt community is being provided with their first look at plans for the expanded Mount Druitt Hospital.

The NSW Government is investing $120 million in the upgrade of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals to provide expanded and contemporary acute medical and surgical capacity.

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

The plans show the area for the planned upgrades, which will deliver modern health care facilities to service one of the country’s fastest-growing communities.

A mix of new and refurbished clinical areas and support spaces will form part of the redevelopment.

Welcoming and culturally inclusive spaces for consumers, staff, and visitors will be central to the planning and design process.

Staff, stakeholders and the community are invited to attend an information session at Mount Druitt Hospital to meet the project team and learn more:

  • Mount Druitt Hospital main entrance
  • Thursday, 22 May 2025 at 9:00am-11:00am

Staff, stakeholders, and the community will continue to be consulted as the project progresses.

Planning and design will continue throughout 2025, with construction timeframes to be finalised as part of planning and once a builder has been appointed.

Construction work will be carried out in stages to minimise disruption to clinical services, which will remain operational throughout the redevelopment.

The project will build on the $700 million expansion of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals completed in 2020 which has expanded capacity at both hospitals. This included a new Emergency Department (ED), cancer centre, and inpatient facilities at Blacktown Hospital and additional renal dialysis and inpatient facilities at Mount Druitt Hospital.

The redevelopment is being delivered by Health Infrastructure and Western Sydney Local Health District.
