A new, state of the art mental health facility is under construction within the Westmead Health Precinct. When complete it will deliver therapeutic environments that support safe, dignified trauma-informed and recovery-focused care.
The $540 million project will enable mental health services currently located at Cumberland Hospital (west campus) to relocate to a new purpose-built facility connected to Westmead Hospital.
It will support contemporary best-practice care, allowing patients to be treated holistically in a therapeutic environment in line with state and national mental healthcare reforms.
A link bridge connection to Westmead Hospital will provide better integration between Western Sydney Local Health District mental health and other clinical services and facilities including the Emergency Department and main hospital entry.
Construction is scheduled for completion in 2027.
The facility is being built on the traditional lands of the Dharug people. Consultation with Dharug knowledge keepers has informed the decision not to use Aboriginal language when naming the facility. This does not discount using Dharug language when naming individual units and other areas within the facility.
We acknowledge the individual and collective contributions of those with varied lived and living experience(s) and those who love, have loved and care for them.
