About the organisation

Street Side Medics is a not-for-profit, GP-led mobile medical service for people experiencing homelessness. Our vision is to ensure that all vulnerable individuals requiring healthcare can access it effortlessly, with dignity and respect.

At Street Side Medics make long term commitments to the communities in which we work. By teaming up with local community partners, and delivering our clinics from the same place, at the same time, on the same day, each week, we’re able to build lasting relationships and ensure continuity of care.

The team on the ground each week are all volunteers and include GPs, other medical specialists, junior doctors, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and other medical and non-medical super stars. The clinics operate from vans with full medical fit outs, and work in conjunction with other homeless services 6 days a week at 14 locations across New South Wales and Victoria.

About this opportunity

We are recruiting Doctors and or Medical Specialists (PGY3+) to volunteer once a month at our Nowra Clinic, operating on Tuesdays from 10am – 12pm.

The key objective of the Medical Support Officer (MSO) is to support the GP on roster by distributing the workload of the medical team and allowing for the smooth running of the clinic. Your role will include completing the initial assessment of a patient who has requested to see a doctor. This may include passing the patient onto a GP or completing the consult after initial consultation if within your scope.

Benefits include a chance to become part of a tight knit volunteer community while providing meaningful and immediate support to the most vulnerable amongst us. You will also have the opportunity to learn and get access to our key speakers at our annual education days.
