The NSW and Australian Governments have committed $910 million to build a new Rouse Hill Hospital on the corner of Commercial and Windsor roads, to deliver a range of health services centred around the needs of the patient.

Rouse Hill Hospital will become part of a leading network of health services providing comprehensive integrated care and community-based services.

The page is used to share updates on construction, the planning and design process, engagement outcomes, and ways to get involved moving forward.

Community and stakeholder engagement

Community members are being encouraged to take part in a new survey to help shape key design elements throughout the hospital to support enhanced experiences for patients, visitors, carers and staff, and create a welcoming environment that reflects the diverse northwest Sydney community it will serve.

Feedback is being sought on areas including the future retail services, accessibility, wayfinding, parking, amenities, information points and signage, and community safety features.

The community survey can be completed at the link below.

The local community is encouraged to attend information sessions to meet the project team and learn more about how to have a say:

• Thursday 16 April, 4-6pm, Rouse Hill Town Centre outside the Vinegar Hill Memorial Library
• Saturday 18 April, 10am-12pm, Tallawong Village, near the main entrance
