The new Central Acute Services Building (CASB), which is the centrepiece of the Westmead Redevelopment, is the first hospital in NSW to provide comprehensive health services for children and adults. It will be a joint facility with The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Western Sydney Local Health District, and the University of Sydney when it opens in early 2021, providing high-quality healthcare.
A new Emergency Department, Children’s Short Stay Unit, digital operating theatres, and additional pharmacy and medical imaging information will be provided for sick children. The scheme is being implemented in collaboration with Health Infrastructure, Western Sydney Local Health District, Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, and the University of Sydney, and is part of the NSW Government’s dedication to keeping patients safe and out of hospitals, delivering world-class healthcare care with timely access and services, and investing in vital infrastructure.
