A teenage window cleaner who plummeted 30m from a building in Auckland is being treated in hospital and getting better.

The 18-year-old was abseiling off the side of the Lion Nathan building on Carlton Gore Rd, Newmarket, when she fell about 2.30pm on Friday.

The New Zealand Herald named the woman as 18-year-old Louisa Kuypers.

She was reportedly fully harnessed and was wearing a helmet.

Ms Kuypers was rushed to Auckland City Hospital in a critical condition.

A spokesman for the hospital told NZ Newswire this morning her condition had improved from critical to stable.

The Department of Labour is investigating the incident.
