Watkin Tench Parade to Blacktown on the 800
From the middle of Pemulwuy, the clinic is about 7 km by road. One direct route follows Blacktown Road and then the Prospect Highway. Bus route 800 (Blacktown to Fairfield via Pemulwuy) stops on Watkin Tench Parade and Driftway Drive. It travels via Blacktown Road and Blacktown Hospital to Blacktown Station. For rail, Merrylands and Pendle Hill stations are a short drive from Pemulwuy. Pendle Hill Station is served by T1 Western Line and T5 Cumberland Line services, both of which stop at Blacktown. Bus or train, the trip ends at Blacktown Station, about a kilometre on foot from the clinic.

Prospect Hill and a suburb formed in 2004
Pemulwuy is named after Pemulwuy, an Aboriginal man who led resistance to early British settlement in the area, particularly around Toongabbie. The suburb was formed on 30 January 2004 from the eastern part of Prospect, on the site of a former Boral quarry and CSIRO land. Prospect Hill, which rises to 117 metres above sea level, is within its boundaries. Pemulwuy sits in Cumberland Council. From these streets, bus 800 links with Blacktown Hospital and Blacktown Station, so the trip to the clinic needs no change of bus.
