Construction is underway on a new six-storey hospital tower as part of the $790 million (US$578 million) Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct, which will bring improved health services to south-western Sydney.

In a release on Thursday, New South Wales (NSW) Premier Dominic Perrottet said the new hospital will offer enhanced facilities, including an integrated cancer centre, a larger emergency department than the current one at Liverpool Hospital, an intensive care unit, and more operating theatres.
