Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cumberland Hospital GardenPrint Page 
A garden erected in 1870 honours the administrators of the former hospital. The administrators honoured are J.R.Firth (Assistant Superintendent) W.Brown ( Medical Visitor) F.Wardley (Superintendent) and E.S.P Bedford (President of the Board of Visitors).
The history of the Centre dates back to 1846, at which time a tract of land for an asylum was granted. Before 1960 the centre was known as Parramatta Mental Hospital and operated in a traditional role. However, following the complete reorganization of the Centre after 1960, it was modernized and now has responsibility for the assessment and care of patients admitted from the western part of Sydney. The centre became the Cumberland Hospital in 1983.
