ABC Drive: Barriers for vulnerable young people accessing primary healthcare

Oct 08, 2024

CEO Pam Barker MAICD spoke to Kelly Higgins-Devine on ABC Drive Brisbane about the vital role of our free medical clinic at Brisbane Youth Service.

Access to primary healthcare free of charge or at low cost is a pressing issue across Australia. When young people struggle to afford basic necessities like food, rent, and tuition, their health needs often take a backseat.
