Providing Healthcare to the Homeless and Marginalised in Perth

Welcome to Perth's largest provider of healthcare services to the homeless and marginalised.

Mobile GP commenced in early 2008. Based on an underlying philosophy where the individual is respected regardless of background we use an innovative model to provide healthcare to homeless and marginalised people. We work in collaboration with the social welfare and drug rehabilitation agencies, sharing not just facilities but patient care strategies. The Mobile GP team brings all necessary medical equipment to the agency's premises to set up a GP clinic. This allows homeless and marginalised people to see us within an environment that is familiar to them.

Using this model we have rapidly become the largest provider of healthcare to homeless and marginalised people in the Perth metropolitan region.

This is only the beginning. Over the coming months to years we hope to expand further.

Our aim is to have:

• a large network of mobile clinics run by dedicated clinicians with a special interest in working with the homeless and marginalised people
• an education unit providing education to other healthcare providers about successful evidence based interventions health and social interventions to homeless and marginalised people
• a research unit to further expand on the growing international knowledge-base of effective interventions to improve the health of homeless and marginalised people
