The south western Sydney community is being invited to tour the brand new Liverpool Hospital Integrated Services Building, as part of the Welcome All Cultures Community Open Day on tomorrow Saturday 19 October.
The purpose-built five-storey building, which will open to patients in just over a week on 28 October 2024, is the centrepiece of Phase 1 of the $830 million Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct redevelopment.
The new integrated services building features a new hospital public entrance on Goulburn Street, a new and expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, 10 new birthing suites and a new centralised pathology department.
The open day, from 9.00am to 1.00pm, will celebrate Liverpool’s culturally diverse community and its involvement in the hospital’s redevelopment with First Nations and multicultural performances throughout the day.
There will also be community health stalls and children’s activities as well as the tours of the new hospital building.
The Community Open Day is a free event.
Bookings are essential for the tours of the new hospital building. Community members can book a tour online via the LHAP website at www.lhap.health.nsw.gov.au.
People can also call the LHAP office on 8738 6670 during office hours to book their place on a tour.
Minister for Health Ryan Park:
“Earlier this month, I joined the Premier and Member for Liverpool to tour this state of the art hospital building and I am delighted the Liverpool community will also have the chance to see the impressive new hospital building before it opens to the public.
“The open day is offering tours of the new hospital building so the community has the chance to see its new features, before it opens to the public in the coming weeks.
“This is one of many exciting hospital projects we have underway and this $830 million redevelopment will transform the delivery of health care in Liverpool and surrounding communities like Fairfield, Cabramatta and Leppington.”
Member for Liverpool Charishma Kaliyanda:
“Completion of this state of the art new facility is an exciting milestone for the hospital and community.
“Staff are excited to be moving into their new areas to provide care, after months of careful preparation and anticipation.
“I encourage community members to join in the tours on the open day so they can see how impressive this new hospital building is – it is such an incredible asset to Liverpool and our surrounding communities.”
