REDEVELOPMENT NEWS #6 | Did you know that artworks are a small but important part of our ED redevelopment?

World Breastfeeding Week

Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital celebrated World Breastfeeding Week through street art with high school students. Students from Bankstown Senior College visited the hospital to create a colourful entrance on the footpath, using this year's theme "empowering parents enabling breastfeeding". The annual tradition is one way the District educates the next generation on the importance of breastfeeding.

REDEVELOPMENT NEWS #5 | A reminder that our team will be at the hospital’s main entrance tomorrow from 10am – 1pm, with all the latest news on the redevelopment of our emergency department. #BankstownUpdate
