The community has been given its first look at the design for the state-of-the-art new Bankstown Hospital.
The NSW Government is investing $2 billion for the new Bankstown Hospital to help meet the future healthcare needs of our fast-growing and diverse community.
The design showcases a vibrant, city-shaping and welcoming facility.
Located in Bankstown’s CBD, the new hospital will provide close connections to key transport links including bus and train services and the future Sydney Metro.
The new main entry concept (above) shows the hospital plaza on Chapel Road, with welcoming green spaces, a connection to the new multi-storey car park and wards on the upper levels for maximum light and views.
Work is expected to start in early 2026 with the demolition of the TAFE NSW buildings (subject to planning approval).
If you live or work in the Chapel Road area, we will be in touch early next year to provide you with more information about how we will safely manage demolition and early works on the site.

A second perspective (above) shows the French Avenue entry and Emergency Department entry.
The scope of the new Bankstown Hospital will be finalised through the planning process but is expected to include:
- Emergency Department
- Operating Theatres
- Intensive Care
- Surgical and medical services
- Health services for women and children including maternity
- Mental health
- Outpatients
- Aged Health
- Other clinical services to be defined as planning progresses.
The project includes a new multi-storey car park and on-ground parking.
The existing Bankstown Hospital site will remain as a health facility, and will deliver contemporary healthcare and a better healthcare experience across a broad range of community and hospital-based services.
The project is currently in the early planning stage, and consultation with staff, patients and community members will continue every step of the way.
Concept design, which explains the layout of the new hospital,will be released shortly.

Yes. The new hospital project includes a multi-storey car park plus additional on-ground parking to meet the needs of hospital staff and visitors.
Traffic studies are an important part of our hospital planning.
We are currently at a very early stage of the project but we are consulting with Transport for NSW and Canterbury Bankstown City Council about traffic planning for the new site.
This includes routes for visitors, emergency services, and deliveries as well as the impact on the local area.
More information will be provided as the project progresses.
Yes. NSW hospitals prioritise spiritual and religious needs by providing multi-faith facilities for patients, visitors and staff.
These spaces are designed to be inclusive and accessible, offering a place for prayer, reflection, meditation, and quiet contemplation.
The New Bankstown Hospital will include a multi-faith facility but at this stage it is too early to confirm the design, location or layout as the project is still in the very early planning stages.
The project team will consult extensively with the hospital’s pastoral care team, staff, community members and faith leaders closer to the time about the design of any new faith-based facility.
The NSW Government is also investing $100 million to relocate the TAFE NSW Bankstown campus to enable construction of the new hospital.
From the beginning of 2026, TAFE NSW will relocate most of its training delivery for the next five years to the new Western Sydney University Tower, across the road from the existing Bankstown campus.
This will ensure local staff and students can still access brand new facilities and bespoke teaching and learning spaces in the heart of the Bankstown CBD.
The existing Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital site will remain as a health facility. When the new building is completed, services will transfer to the new hospital and the existing site will be used for other health services such as community health.Early works to prepare the site will start in 2026, once TAFE NSW has left the site.
Early works usually include demolition, removal of services in the ground e.g. pipes and cables, and ground works like excavation.
Main works will start when a builder is appointed.
