Overview

Westmead sits 26 km west of Sydney’s CBD on the banks of the Parramatta River, bordered by parkland, creeks and the Great Western Highway. The suburb is anchored by a world‑class health precinct, including Westmead Hospital, the Children’s Hospital, a psychiatric centre and several research institutes, plus a vibrant education hub with two university campuses, a public primary school of over 900 pupils and historic Catholic schools. Residents enjoy easy access to green spaces such as Cumberland Oval, Pemulwuy Reserve and Jones Park, while heritage‑listed streets like Bridge Road and Good Street preserve Victorian and Federation homes alongside newer developments.

Transport is a key draw: Westmead railway station serves the T1, T5 and Blue Mountains lines and is the terminus for the L4 light‑rail, with the North‑West T‑way buses linking Parramatta and the Hills District. Future Metro West and Parramatta Light Rail extensions will further improve connectivity. At the 2021 census Westmead had 16,555 people, a youthful median age of 33 and a richly diverse community, over a quarter born in Australia and large Indian, Chinese, Nepali and Sri Lankan populations, creating a lively, multicultural lifestyle.
