Sydney North Health Network and Street Side Medics are providing free healthcare to the homeless to meet the growing demand for vulnerable people’s medical services across the northern Sydney region.
The primary health network will continue to fund a weekly Street Side Medics mobile health clinic in Manly along with the weekly supplementary clinic in Hornsby it funded this year.
The Street Side Medics mobile clinics make primary healthcare accessible to approximately 1250 homeless people annually in the northern Sydney region by offering free-of-charge, walk-in healthcare appointments.
The clinics are staffed by qualified health professionals in well-equipped mobile medical practice vans, offering primary healthcare services at regular General Practice standards. They operate in Manly’s Corso every Monday evening and, from now, a weekly Thursday evenings supplementary clinic is available at Jersey Street in Hornsby.
The volunteer medical team also alternate between on-site health clinics for residents at Ebbs House in Brookvale and a northside women’s shelter.
