When Daniel Nour was in his final year of medicine in London he came across a man having a seizure at a train station. He stopped to help the man and later learned he was homeless.

Back in New South Wales, he discovered that even with a world-class health system there were still barriers limiting access.

The New South Wales Young Australian of the Year created Street Side Medics, a mobile medical service dedicated to those experiencing homelessness.

"We started in July 2020 with two volunteers, and we've grown the team now to 220 volunteers with two vans and have served over 500 patients," he said.

The two vans are set up as a medical clinic and visit shelters across New South Wales for free and with no need for a Medicare card.
