Westmead, Administrative district in City of Parramatta Council, Australia.
Westmead is an administrative district in City of Parramatta Council and home to the largest concentration of hospitals and health services across Australia. The area functions as a medical and research center for Western Sydney, with universities and medical schools working closely alongside the facilities.
The area developed through the 20th century as a site for health facilities, with several major hospitals built across successive decades. Planning and reshaping as a coordinated health district occurred in recent decades to create synergies between research and patient care.
The district integrates medical research facilities, educational institutions, and healthcare services to create a collaborative environment for health innovation.
The location is well served by public transport, including a metro station and light rail that connect directly to Parramatta and surrounding areas. Ample parking exists around the medical facilities, but public transport remains the more reliable option during peak times.
Westmead expects to generate 32,000 additional healthcare sector jobs by 2036, making it a central force in Australian medical employment growth.
