Benefits

The redevelopment of Fairfield Hospital will significantly enhance the healthcare of the community.
The hospital redevelopment is the foundation of a new ‘health neighbourhood’ for the Fairfield area, which will provide contemporary, integrated health care close to home.
The redevelopment is also set to create local employment opportunities in health, technology, and support services.

Scope

A lead design team including architect Architectus, project manager Turner & Townsend and cost manager Genus Advisory, was appointed in September 2024 following a competitive tender process.
The team is working with Health Infrastructure and South Western Sydney Local Health District to identify future service requirements and plan the redevelopment.
The scope of the Fairfield Hospital redevelopment will be finalised during the planning and design phase.
Construction timeframes will be confirmed once a builder is engaged.
