Healthcare for people experiencing homelessness

Donate Now

Street Side Medics is a GP-led, mobile medical service delivering free healthcare to people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable communities.

We have 17 clinic locations across NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and the ACT, powered by incredible volunteer teams who give up their time every week to ensure our most vulnerable have access to life-changing medical care.

What We Do

The problem
People who experience homelessness are at a significantly higher risk of suffering from poor health outcomes, including higher morbidity and mortality. This is due to a number of challenging barriers that limit their access to healthcare.

How we’re helping to fix it
A medical service on their terms, in their territory in a setting where they are comfortable. A GP-led, truly mobile, medical clinic which collaborates with pre-existing homeless charities, shelters, and services to provide primary healthcare specifically for the homeless community.
