Nic Brown Street Side Medics CEO

In this episode, we speak with Nic Brown, CEO of Street Side Medics, about the launch of their GP-led mobile medical service in Newcastle. Street Side Medics provides free primary healthcare to people experiencing homelessness, bringing fully equipped vans directly to those in need. Nic shares the history of the organisation, which began six years ago with Dr. Daniel Nour, and explains how the service operates across Australia with six vans and over 14 weekly clinics. We discuss how locations are chosen, the incredible support from volunteers, government, and corporate partners, and how local initiatives like the McDougall Foundation are helping make this vital service possible. Listeners will learn how easy it is for people in need to access care—no bookings required, and support is provided even without a Medicare card. Tune in to hear about this life-changing initiative and the community effort that makes it all possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
