Cumberland Hospital, Psychiatric hospital in North Parramatta, Australia.

Cumberland Hospital operates within an extensive medical complex featuring sandstone buildings, gardens, and modern treatment facilities alongside the Parramatta River.

The hospital evolved from the Parramatta Female Factory established in 1821, where it initially served as a facility for female convicts until 1848.

The site represents the evolution of mental health care in Australia, transitioning from a convict facility to a modern psychiatric treatment center.

The medical facility provides mental health services through multiple specialized departments, with the main entrance located on Fleet Street.

The hospital grounds contain building materials from the original 1838 prison cells, repurposed during the construction of new structures in 1885.
