Street Side Medics is a GP-led, mobile medical service delivering free, compassionate healthcare to people experiencing homelessness.
Our service operates from a mobile medical van which ensures that we are able to reach the homeless community across multiple locations. Each doctor in our van is an RACGP accredited General practitioner and our vans are fitted with the necessary equipment to provide primary healthcare services, to the standard of a normal general practice.
Furthermore, we have partnered with a number of homeless services in areas with demographically high concentrations of homelessness in order to improve patient participation. Finally, our services will be of no personal charge to any patients regardless of healthcare status.
Our primary objective is to provide healthcare services which may include but are not limited to:
– Health examinations
– Diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions
– Producing and implementing health care plans
– Immunisations
– Pathology services
– Providing nutritional advice
– Minor surgical procedures
– Referring the homeless to appropriate medical subspecialties
