Bidwill Square
Community Medical Hub
Register your interest in a placement or volunteer opportunity with one of Australia's most significant grassroots community health initiatives — built from the ground up, with community at the centre.
A community-led health hub built by the people who need it most
Bidwill and the greater Mount Druitt region is home to one of the most densely populated Aboriginal communities in Australia. Traditional medical hub models have consistently failed here — not because of the community, but because they were built without it.
Yarning Crescent is leading a large-scale grassroots engagement project to co-design an integrated community medical, dental and pharmacy hub that actually works — built on community voice, culturally informed engagement, and genuine long-term relationships.
This is your opportunity to be part of it from the ground up.
Community voice & co-design
Every decision shaped by the people who live and work in the community — not imposed from outside.
Culturally informed engagement
Trauma-informed, culturally safe practice underpins every interaction and data collection activity.
Integrated health & wellbeing
Medical, dental, pharmacy, mental health and community services under one roof.
Real placement experience
Up to 400 hours of meaningful, supervised placement aligned to your course requirements.
