A GREAT NEW INITIATIVE HAS LAUNCHED IN SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND
Healthcare for those experiencing homelessness and vulnerability.
Community connectivity, through Telehealth. 💛Since launching out of the boot of our car in 2018, Sunny Street's mission has always been to facilitate community connectivity and improve access to health care options. While in many ways, COVID19 has made communities more disconnected than ever, we have developed an opportunity to create these connections in a remote setting through Telehealth. Telehealth video consultations have allowed Sunny Street to connect with people experiencing homelessness, no matter the distance or regulations. Through this software, our healthcare team can provide consults and maintain our precious relationships. On Homelessness Week 2020, we thought it fitting to share with you this special video launching the Telehealth service. An abundance of thanks to @seratonincreative, film director Mark Toia, and Australian actor Damien Garvey for your work, showing this powerful glimpse of Sunny Street's precious space. -----------------------For more details on Telehealth, see below. 💛 Tuesday & Thursday 4:30-8pm 💛 Wednesday 4:30-8:30pmVisit: https://sunnystreet.org/Scroll down on the homepage 👉 'Chat with us now' pink button 🔴We look forward to chatting with you soon 😊

Our MISSION
Happy to Help
To help improve the health of those currently experiencing homelessness and for the less fortunate in our community.
Sunny Street is a Nurse Led mobile outreach unit with Doctors and Nurse Practitioners providing primary healthcare and complex coordination services for homeless and vulnerable individuals and families.
Our mission is to facilitate community connectivity and improve access to health care options.
The service is both owned and operationally managed locally by the Medical Director, Dr Nova Evans, and the Nursing Director, Sonia Goodwin.
WHAT DO WE DO?
Mobile Medical Outreach Service
HOW CAN SUNNY STREET HELP?
Specifically for those who are homeless and have little, to no access to proper health care.
This can be one of the most trying and confronting times for someone in this situation.
We want to help give them a glimmer of hope. We want them to know we care. We want to educate them on how we can help.
We want to be positive about their future.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Spread the word – We want to educate the world on the great work we do at Sunny Street. We want people to be interested in finding out more about us. We want them to know we care.

Testimonials
Thanks Sunny Street for your commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of those experiencing homelessness and/or marginalised. I have not only watched the physical health of those who attend your clinics improve but also their mental health and attitudes shift from a negative to a more positive and optimistic one.
Sunny Street provide a vital service for the young people accessing Night Cafe. Previous to Sunny Street being in the space, Night Café workers have had limited options in terms of escalation of care for young people looking to access health care. Often times, the young persons accessing night café have a history of trauma when accessing mainstream health care, the outcome being a refusal to go with emergency services and or refusal of accessing mainstream health care options the next day. Sunny Streets’ unique approach to health care solutions coupled with their trauma informed consultation makes them a very accessible service to persons in this situation who may or may not access health care through mainstream avenues. In terms of Night Café this well and truly has been the trend we have noticed. Young people whose quality of life has been impaired by barriers to health care have found a pathway to access health care in a way that is safe, accessible, and affordable to them.
