Background
‘Direct to you’ – primary health care (PHC) outreach service.
(This is a fictional health service. However, it is based on many similar services).
‘Direct to you’ offers confidential and non-judgemental health care services to people who use drugs in a potentially
harmful way. It is based in Sydney’s CBD and other inner suburbs. ‘Direct to you’ targets a hard-to-reach population who
would not usually seek health care from mainstream health services such as GP clinics. While the major group it targets,
those who use drugs in potentially harmful ways, this group often have other vulnerabilities, including being homeless,
sex workers, part of the LGBTQIA community or living with mental illness. The ‘Direct to you’ buses park in areas that
these groups of people are likely to frequent, set up BBQ and table, and provide barbequed food to anyone who arrives.
While people are eating and socialising with others, the health professionals offer support and advice relating to
accommodation services, nutrition, social security, child protection and family violence. The bus also offers everyday
facilities such as a shower, toilet laundry facilities, a computer and a telephone. The health practitioners provide many
health services, including:
general health checks like testing for STIs and blood borne diseases in addition to vaccination; and
safe sex products, needle and syringe exchange, antenatal care and referral, counselling on harm minimisation
strategies and overdose prevention (naloxone packs).
