Concord Redevelopment stage 1
Concord Hospital’s new clinical services building opened in 2022 completing the NSW Government $341 million stage one redevelopment and marking a new era in healthcare for staff, patients and the community in Sydney’s inner-west.
The eight-storey Rusty Priest Building has 214 patient beds and houses a comprehensive cancer centre, an aged health and rehabilitation centre and the National Centre for Veterans' Healthcare.
The State Government announced the funding for the project in 2017 and main works construction began in 2019.
The building is named in honour of veteran and former NSW RSL President Godfrey Eugene "Rusty" Priest. At times a patient at Concord, Rusty was a strong supporter of the hospital and a champion for veterans’ health and wellbeing.
