Westmead Hospital’s phone numbers are changing

As Westmead Hospital continues to grow, we’re doubling our phone numbers to prepare for a bigger workforce!

From 1 August 2017, all Westmead Hospital phone numbers will start with 8890.

For example, if the number you’re dialing for a person or department at Westmead Hospital is 9845 4670, the correct number will now be 8890 4670.

The 8890 numbers are now live, so you are encouraged to update your contacts.

From 1 August 2017 to 31 December 2017, only 8890 numbers will work and callers to 9845 numbers will be greeted with a recorded message redirecting them to the 8890 number.

From 1 January 2018, all 9845 and 8821 numbers will not connect to anything.

Please note, this phone upgrade does not affect the Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
