New artist impressions of the $2 billion Bankstown Hospital have been unveiled.

The designs of the 14-storey hospital building and 10-storey car park feature a colour palette inspired by local geology, native canopies and expansive skies which celebrate a deep First Nations connection to place.

The release of the designs coincides with the State Significant Development Application now on exhibition.

We marked National Doctors Day with a lunch and some friendly (but competitive!) table tennis to thank our doctors for their outstanding service and commitment.

It was a small way to say thank you for the care, compassion and dedication they show our community every day. Thank you to everyone who joined in celebrating and honouring our incredible doctors. 👏💙

Meet Julianne, an Occupational Therapist (OT) who has truly grown with south west Sydney.

Julianne started as a new graduate at Liverpool Hospital in 2007 and has spent her entire career in our District! Today, she leads the Occupational Therapy service at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital as Head of Department.

“It really shapes who I’ve become as a person. The voices of consumers have become the most important voice in the room.”

She loves the community feel at Bankstown. “We are a close-knit community. The cleaners, the IT team, the librarian. We all support each other to build a better system for our community.”

Her commitment also goes beyond her role. She champions disability inclusion as Chair of the Bankstown Disability and Carers Committee and recently became a joint carer for her niece.

“Diversity and inclusion are our superpower here in the District.”

Julianne’s journey shows the impact of staff who give back to the community they call home. 💙
