Nepean Hospital will get new chemical pathology analysers as part of the A$29m ($18.99m) initiative, along with several other facilities in the region, including Auburn, Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Mount Druitt, and Westmead Hospitals.

This investment focuses on automation technology to enhance sample movement and processing in larger laboratories.

Completion of the pathology laboratory enables the commencement of construction for Nepean Hospital’s stage two building, which will feature an adult intensive care unit, renal services, medical imaging, and over 100 inpatient beds.

The Nepean Hospital redevelopment is taking place in two stages, with stage one already operational since 2022.

Stage two construction is ongoing and slated for completion in 2026.
