Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) Government has announced the completion of the new Integrated Services Building at Liverpool Hospital, marking a key milestone in the hospital’s redevelopment.

The facility is said to be a key part of the first phase of the A$830m ($571.9m) Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct.

Australian Health Minister Ryan Park and NSW Premier Chris Minns toured the five-storey building.

The new integrated services building has an expanded neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), birthing suites and a centralised pathology department.

These enhancements are designed to provide specialised care and support the hospital's role as a hub for medical innovation and research.

The facility is set to address the healthcare needs of South Western Sydney's rapidly growing population, which is anticipated to exceed 1.2 million by the early 2030s, the government noted.

It will offer culturally appropriate care, health literacy initiatives, and multicultural services to cater to the diverse community.

In addition to the new building, the redevelopment has introduced a multi-storey car park and various refurbishments across the campus.

The next phase, commencing this year, includes establishing new inpatient units, an integrated cancer centre featuring the Australian Cancer Research Foundation’s Oasis Wellness Centre, and expanded ambulatory care for women and children.

The emergency department at the hospital will also see a progressive expansion, including a new entrance and drop-off zone slated to open next year, with phase two expected to be completed by 2027.

This project is being carried out with approximately 75% of the construction workforce sourced from Western and South Western Sydney.

The latest development comes after the NSW government confirmed that the A$438m redevelopment of Shoalhaven Hospital is proceeding on schedule, with significant progress made on the new seven-storey acute clinical services building.
