Mount Druitt Hospital

Overview

Mount Druitt Hospital is a metropolitan healthcare facility serving the western suburbs of Sydney. With approximately 200 beds, the hospital provides emergency care, elective surgery, rehabilitation, palliative care, mental health services, and outpatient clinics. Operating under Western Sydney Local Health District alongside Blacktown Hospital as part of an integrated Blacktown Mount Druitt Hospital service, Mount Druitt has developed specialised expertise in elective surgery, rehabilitation, and palliative care as part of a complementary role delineation with Blacktown Hospital. The facility underwent significant redevelopment in recent years with a new emergency department and expanded services. Mount Druitt Hospital serves one of Sydney’s most socioeconomically diverse areas with a population of over 300,000 people representing more than 170 different cultural backgrounds. The hospital features Western Sydney’s dedicated elective surgical center, alongside specialised rehabilitation facilities and community health services. Mount Druitt Hospital plays a vital role in western Sydney’s healthcare network, providing accessible services with a focus on outpatient care, day procedures, and planned surgery that complements the more acute services available at Blacktown Hospital. The facility serves a culturally diverse community with higher than average rates of chronic disease, with services designed to address healthcare disparities while providing culturally appropriate care.
