The South West Sydney Clinical Campuses comprise the UNSW efforts at Liverpool, Bankstown, Campbelltown, Fairfield and Braeside in the south west of Sydney. We work closely with local clinical facilities and the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research across south western Sydney. The Clinical Campus is focused on further developing the educational and research opportunities for UNSW students, staff and conjoints across the south west. The campus is also home to the state-of-the-art South West Sydney Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre.
The Clinical Campus works closely with a number of our partners in the developing Liverpool Health and Innovation Precinct, Campbelltown Health and Education Precinct and the Bankstown Health and Education Precinct. Our goal is to grow the UNSW presence in health, education and research in south western Sydney.
Campus leaders
History
UNSW established its presence in south western Sydney in 1989 following an agreement signed by the Vice Chancellor of UNSW and the Chairman of the Board of the South Western Sydney Area Health Service (SWSAHS). The agreement was to create a teaching Area Health Service and not simply a teaching hospital. It included the public hospitals of Liverpool, Fairfield, Bankstown, Campbelltown and Bowral as well as the associated community and public health services.
In 1990, the first students commenced terms in south western Sydney as an integral part of their fourth year program involving community medicine and general medicine and surgery. All of UNSW’s medicine students rotated for a period of six weeks and were accommodated on the campuses across the south west. In 1991, approximately 20 were allocated for all of their clinical teaching in fourth, fifth and sixth years. Up to one hundred students were accommodated in facilities at any time in the south west.

UNSW made a number of appointments including professorships in community medicine, pathology (conjoint), psychiatry, medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology and intensive care. The first UNSW Chair in General Practice was established in an academic unit at Fairfield Hospital. This was followed by appointments of senior lecturers in medicine and surgery and conjoint appointments at senior academic levels in all the disciplines.
The initial organisational steps involved joint planning and management committees with the Area Health Service and within the Clinical School and establishment of a Clinical School Committee, a committee for teaching, a Board of Medical Studies and a Research Advisory Committee. The Board of Medical Studies was responsible for oversight of undergraduate and postgraduate education and the Overseas Doctors Training Program.
In the early period, Clinical School meetings were held on different hospital campuses of the Area Health Service so that the whole of the health service in the south west of Sydney could be part of the new academic enterprise.
The transition from purely clinical services to an environment of teaching, research and clinical endeavour was achieved harmoniously. The leadership and collaboration of senior clinicians was outstanding as they welcomed the new academics and specialists to this part of Sydney.
One of the most important early tasks was to promote resources to support research development. This was achieved through collaboration of academics with the Area Health Service in founding the Health Research Foundation Sydney South West and the Ingham Institute. There were other initiatives in medicine, cancer, trauma, epidemiology, general practice, health services research and psychiatry.
The Area Board of Directors were enthusiastic about research and sponsored many community events to raise funds for research. Also there were joint arrangements with the University of Western Sydney to share teaching areas and to support research. The teaching efforts were supported by the establishment of an excellent medical library, a Clinical Skills Centre and audiovisual resources.
Since this time, the presence of UNSW in the south west has grown significantly with numerous research groups based at the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research and a number of academic positions hosted by the hospitals across south western Sydney. Staff from south western Sydney play an expanding role in the research output of UNSW Medicine.
In 2014, the South Western Sydney Clinical School will celebrate 25 years since the initial agreement and continues to work with the South Western Sydney Local Health District to further develop academic medicine in south western Sydney including large infrastructure investments in the Ingham Institute, clinical skills and simulation and videoconferencing equipment to connect the campuses across Kensington and south western Sydney.
In 2022, the School became the South West Sydney Clinical Campuses and was merged into the new School of Clinical Medicine within the Faculty of Medicine & Health.

Year 4 research projects
The Year 4 Research Project, undertaken by all Phase 2 students, aims to enable students to gain some insight into how medical knowledge is acquired through the completion of a research-related project. The year aims to promote lifelong learning patterns and skills which will enable students to approach future medical challenges in their careers with a rigor and depth not possible without a detailed knowledge of the formal processes of research, literature appraisal, data collection, analysis and presentation.
Doing an ILP in the south west is extremely popular amongst students doing clinical projects along with those undertaking laboratory research at the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research. Many students who undertake projects in south western Sydney obtain peer-review publications and conference presentations as a result of their projects. A full list of submitted projects and supervisors is available at the ILP website, but students can also contact researchers directly to ask about a project.
