Construction underway on long-promised Rouse Hill Hospital
CONSTRUCTION has started on the new $910M Rouse Hill Hospital.
The NSW Government, in partnership with the Federal Government, is delivering the new public hospital which will provide world class, comprehensive, integrated health care to the growing region of north west Sydney now and into the future.
Located on the corner of Commercial and Windsor roads, close to the Rouse Hill Metro Station and Rouse Hill Town Centre, the new hospital is located at the heart of the community.
Today, construction is underway providing certainty to local families that the project is finally being delivered.
The new Rouse Hill Hospital will include:
- An emergency department.
- Comprehensive birthing services including birthing rooms and a maternity inpatient unit.
- Inpatient beds and day surgery services.
- Short stay medical assessment services.
- Pathology, pharmacy and medical imaging services.
- Outpatient and ambulatory care services including paediatrics and renal dialysis.
- Virtual care and hospital in the home services.
- Prehabilitation, rehabilitation and lifestyle medicine.
The State Significant Development Application for main works construction was recently placed on exhibition and submissions are currently being assessed. This next stage of work is expected to begin this year, following formal planning approval.
The Rouse Hill Hospital forms part of the Government’s plan to end Western Sydney’s infrastructure drought, delivering infrastructure and the essential services growing communities need, all at once.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney Prue Car said: “Every family in our community deserves access to world-class health care close to where they live, and that is why we are delivering Rouse Hill hospital with the services they have been asking for.
“For 12 years the residents of North-West Sydney were neglected and ignored by the former Liberal National government who failed to deliver even the basic services for our community.
“Labor is building a better NSW, and together with our $1.5B investment in new and upgraded schools in North-West Sydney, we’re delivering infrastructure that puts Western Sydney communities first.”
Member for Riverstone Warren Kirby said: “This is a huge moment for our community. People here have backed this hospital for years, and now we can finally see it becoming a reality.”
“This is something our community has fought hard for.
“It means mums don’t have to travel across Sydney to give birth, and families can get emergency care close to where they live.”
