The Street Health Faculty is a dynamic nurse-led network spearheaded by Chair Sonia Martin MACN. Committed to addressing the healthcare needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and vulnerability in Australia, the faculty aligns with the global inclusion health agenda, aiming to rectify health and social inequities among the most vulnerable populations. Our focus and vision encompass various crucial aspects. We are dedicated to improving data sharing and research, providing support at the intersection of hospitals and homelessness, advocating for socialised healthcare models, establishing shared approaches to clinical governance for homeless health services, offering continuous professional development (CPD) and networking support, and actively shaping policies in Australia to serve vulnerable populations in their pursuit of health equity.

The knowledge we gain via research and networking, will inform our priorities and guide our next steps in education, advocacy, and policy development. Education initiatives will play a pivotal role, supporting our broader visions of improving healthcare data, promoting socialized models, enhancing clinical governance, and influencing policy changes.
