WentWest and the Mt Druitt Medical Practitioners Association (MDMPA) joined forces to establish Healthicare, a Neighbourhood Health Hub, operating at the centre of the Blacktown Exercise Sports and Technology Hub (BEST).
Aligned with the recommendations in the Primary Health Care 10-Year Plan, this neighbourhood aims to build the primary health care workforce in the region, tailored to the community and working in partnership with other providers, to deliver affordable, accessible, preventative, quality health care.
Healthicare is also supported by Blacktown City Council, the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, community organisations and local schools and aims to connect community, bringing health and wellbeing to the Blacktown Exercise Sports and Technology Hub (BEST).
There is an opportunity over time, for Healthicare to be positioned as a centre of excellence for training, mentoring and research through the clinic’s work.

Healthicare aims to cater for everyone who requires holistic health services, utilising GPs with special interest in child and family, complex chronic conditions and mental health as a start, although we expect to be expanding our services and capacity as per needs.
Our aim is to wrap health care services into one unified Neighbourhood Health Hub, supporting surrounding general practice with access and services for those with complex care needs.
We offer general GP services, in addition to patient-activated measures, helping assist patients navigate problems you may have with your health from a new perspective.
Healthicare is available to anyone who requires access to health care services we offer. We support neighbouring GPs who may wish to refer their patients and are also available to community members who do not have a regular GP.
We are especially looking forward to caring for families with young children, complex chronic conditions and mental health concerns.
