The HoTS van will have regular days at locations across the Central Coast that are accessible to people experiencing homelessness to ensure we reach as many people in need as possible.
We will also engage in outreach work to provide access to those not currently linked with health and community services.
HoTS is a is a free service for people sleeping rough and experiencing homelessness who face challenges accessing healthcare from GPs and health clinics.
People experiencing homelessness and transitional housing often face a range of barriers to accessing basic healthcare services, such as going to a GP.
These barriers can include lack of transport, lack of identification, having previously experienced discrimination, and a range of other unique obstacles.
HoTS ensures all people have a right to basic healthcare, safety and dignity.
The primary focus of the HoTS program is to provide basic clinical care, health assessments and outreach services to people experiencing homelessness. We’re looking to enhance relationships with organisations to help integrate the program into the community.
