A Bit About Us – Western Sydney Local Health District
WSLHD is all about caring for our local communities, and Westmead Hospital is right at the heart of that. We’re big on teamwork, safety, and looking after our people—because you can’t care for others unless you’re supported too.
WSLHD is one of NSW’s biggest health networks, looking after over a million people right here in Western Sydney. We run major hospitals like Westmead, Blacktown, and Mount Druitt, providing everything from emergency and maternity care to mental health support and community services.
We’re proud to deliver top-notch health care that’s easy to access and tailored to our diverse, fast-growing community. At WSLHD, we value teamwork, safety, and continuous improvement—and we’re all about supporting our staff to do their best work in a welcoming, down-to-earth environment.
