Help identify health needs of homeless people

Help identify health needs of homeless people

29 Jan 2024

The aim of the project is to:

  • Define the characteristics of the homeless population in South Western Sydney
  • Better understand the health needs and risk factors of the homeless population in South Western Sydney
  • Identify the barriers and enablers in accessing healthcare services
  • Identify opportunities to improve health outcomes
  • Identify key priorities for service funding in South Western Sydney

We are seeking input from GPs and practice nurses working in South Western Sydney.

Through structured interviews, GPs and practice nurses are invited to share their experiences providing care to people who are homeless or marginally housed.

Interviews will be approximately 30 minutes long.

GPs and practice nurses will be remunerated for their participation.
