What is the StreetDoctor service?
StreetDoctor is an accredited General Practice service that has been successfully providing quality health care to marginalised people and communities since 2001. StreetDoctor is a mobile, easily accessible, confidential, non-judgmental and non-discriminatory bulk-billing primary health care service.
The service employs a multidisciplinary team of GPs, Registered Nurses and Outreach Workers, with the aim of improving health outcomes and reduce hospitalisation for disadvantaged people of all ages and from all areas.
What does the StreetDoctor service offer?
