ABOUT The Well is a new initiative of the Rev. Bill Crews Foundation ('BCF'), bringing together primary healthcare, mental health, alcohol and other drug support, social care and community wellbeing to deliver a connected model of whole-person care.

Working alongside people experiencing homelessness, disadvantage and social exclusion, The Well is founded on the belief that every person deserves compassionate, dignified and holistic care. Through trusted relationships, practical support and multidisciplinary expertise, we are creating an innovative model of care that responds to the complex health and social circumstances influencing wellbeing.

Committed to innovation, evidence-based practice and continuous improvement, The Well aims to become a recognised leader in community medicine and integrated care. Through strong partnerships with universities, health services and the research sector, we are building the evidence base for holistic models of care, translating research into practice and contributing to improved health outcomes for vulnerable communities.

ABOUT OUR HEALTHCARE TEAM

Our multidisciplinary healthcare team delivers high-quality primary healthcare services to some of Sydney's most vulnerable communities through our fully equipped medical clinics in Ashfield and Blacktown.
