Dr Daniel Nour

Early in his career, Dr Daniel Nour realised his passion to address the needs of underprivileged and vulnerable members of the community. This led to his ambition to start a mobile medical clinic which uniquely addresses the multiple health disparities experienced by the homeless and alleviates the many burdens present in accessing healthcare. With this as his inspiration and support form countless others, he founded, Street Side Medics was created.

It’s a not-for-profit, GP-led mobile medical service for people experiencing homelessness. With 145 volunteers, and four clinics across New South Wales, Street Side Medics has changed the lives of more than 300 patients.

It has treated many communicable and non-communicable illnesses, dealt with neglected medical needs, and detected conditions that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. This includes diabetes, thyroid disorders, hepatitis C, HIV, heart disease and cancer.

Despite working full time at Royal North Shore Hospital, Daniel has rarely missed a clinic across the four sites since Street Side Medics launched. He volunteers his afternoons to ensure the clinics are run smoothly and patients are receiving the care they deserve.

With his leadership and social consciousness, Daniel is committed to making a real difference to the lives of many Australians. He’s also making significant improvements to society.

Dr. Nour has a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from James Cook University.
