RPA Today
Royal Prince
Today, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital is one of
Australia’s leading hospitals.
RPA is a premier tertiary and quaternary referral hospital,
recognised as a leader in healthcare excellence and innovation.
A key hospital of Sydney Local Health District, RPA serves
our local community and patients from across NSW, Australia
and internationally.
RPA has a national and international reputation for excellence,
established through the efforts of our staff in patient care,
teaching, research and support services. Royal Prince Alfred
Hospital is proud of its connection with the community, and
has a strong partnership with the Aboriginal Medical Service
Redfern, the oldest Aboriginal Medical Service in the Country.
A $750 million redevelopment of RPA is underway, the most
significant transformation in the 140 year history of the hospital.
Royal Prince Alfred Hospital is one the key anchor tenants
of Sydney’s Tech Central Precinct and in particular the
Camperdown Health Education Research Precinct. RPA
clinician-researchers generated more than 1360 publications in
2021, advancing the field of medicine and ensuring access to
the latest innovations and evidence-based care for our patients.
In its anniversary year, RPA announced a new initiative with its
long term partner the University of Sydney to physically link our
facilities for the very first time through the Sydney Biomedical
Accelerator. RPA and the University of Sydney recognise the
critical importance of the interface between discovery-based
research and patients. The Sydney Biomedical Accelerator will
be a research complex spanning the two organisations, where
scientists will collaborate to solve some of the world’s most
complex problems and make the translation of research to
patient care even faster.
