Our Western Sydney (Baludarri) Precinct is focused on new ways of collaborating with our health and industry partners to deliver education, research, and ingenuity to positively impact healthcare outcomes, policy, and global reach.
To date we have invested around $80 million towards greater health, education, research and training at Westmead by providing new education facilities, upgrades to existing spaces, and a suite of new academic programs and initiatives alongside our partners at the precinct.
Our partnership with the Westmead Sydney Health Precinct goes back over 40 years to when the then NSW Government decided to build the first purpose-built university teaching hospital since RPA opened in 1882.
Westmead Health Precinct is now one of the largest health, education, research and training precincts in Australia. Our Precinct partner collaboration is key to our successful activity at Westmead.
