Three crews along with a specialist medical team including a critical care doctor and critical care paramedic were dispatched to the scene.
The five-year-old was treated for injures to her chest, abdomen and wrist and taken to Westmead Children's Hospital in a stable condition.
"It appears the patient has fallen through the flyscreen of a window from the second floor of the building around five metres onto the ground," Inspector Craig Watkins from NSW Ambulance said.
"It's obviously a worrying time for the family and they did a great job comforting the patient until we arrived on scene."
"The young girl is extremely fortunate not to have sustained more serious injuries."
