Understanding Homelessness in WA
February 16, 2022 @ 7:00 am - 8:30 am
Free – $49.00
WA is one of the richest areas on Earth and yet we still have visible homelessness in our streets and parks. This is despite well established and evidence based ways to resolve homelessness in a population. So why is it not only present but rapidly growing in our society?
Dr Amanda Stafford is an Emergency Medicine specialist from Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) in Western Australia and the Clinical Lead for the RPH Homeless Team, which has been operating at RPH for 5 years. She is committed to reducing health inequalities among the homeless population, our most marginalised and vulnerable cohort with an average life expectancy of only 47 years.
