We are a not-for-profit, GP led mobile medical service for those who are vulnerable or experiencing homelessness.
We collaborate with pre-existing homelessness charities, shelters, and services to provide primary healthcare specifically for this cohort.
Currently operating from several sites across Sydney on a regular weekly basis (with plans to grow interstate in the near future), each clinic is staffed by skilled volunteers who work from a well-equipped mobile medical van, providing a primary health care service to the standard of a normal General Practice.
Our Vision is to deliver better health and wellbeing outcomes for people who are vulnerable or experiencing homelessness.
Street Side Medics is a Registered Charity and is largely volunteer run.
