Our new hospital building is OPEN!🎉🎉

We’re thrilled to welcome our patients, staff, and community into the brand-new building!

Aiyaz and Rabiah were among the first community members to walk through our new hospital building earlier this morning!

As lifelong Liverpool residents, they were “shocked and amazed” by the transformation. Aiyaz even found himself thinking, “Where am I?” as the space didn’t feel like a typical hospital.

The new building has transformed their experience, bringing some comfort and calm while they wait for their son, who is recovering inside.

We’re proud to offer a space that brings comfort and care to families and everyone in our community.

Today, Liverpool Hospital, alongside key stakeholders who have been integral to the $830 million redevelopment, celebrated a major milestone – the completion of Stage 1 of the Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct.

A traditional Aboriginal Smoking Ceremony was held to cleanse, bless, and protect the new space before it opens, making this a significant moment in our hospital’s journey.

Guests were also welcomed with a beautiful performance of the Australian National Anthem, first in the Dharawal language, followed by English. This was followed by words from representatives of Liverpool’s diverse cultures in Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, and Vietnamese.

Representing the wonderful young people of our community, we had the pleasure of hearing from student leaders from Liverpool Girls and Liverpool Boys High Schools, who spoke on behalf of the next generation—those who may one day use or even work in the hospital's services. And finally guests were invited on a guided tour of the new building.

Now, it’s your turn to explore!
