Episode Description: In our very first episode of Impact — Podcast by Homeless Healthcare, we sit down with Alison Sayer, CEO of Homeless Healthcare, to explore the urgent health challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness in Western Australia.
Alison shares her journey from front-line medicine to policy advocacy, the hidden health issues that don’t make headlines, and why homelessness must be treated as a healthcare emergency.
We discuss the critical role of trust, trauma-informed care, the ripple effects of social disadvantage, and how Homeless Healthcare is reshaping the model of care — from emergency tents to long-term impact.
If you’ve ever wondered why traditional healthcare doesn’t work for people sleeping rough — or what real solutions could look like — this episode is for you.
