Kirketon Road Centre

Kirketon Road Centre Gadigal Country KRC is a health care service that provides free and anonymous care to people who experience barriers to accessing health care. What's our story?

KRC opened in 1987 at a time when it was clear that existing clinics and healthcare services were not well adapted to the needs of certain groups of people in the area. We believe that healthcare is a basic human right and that some populations have poorer access to healthcare. We are funded to provide services to:

1. People who inject drugs or are experiencing drug related harms
2. Sex workers
3. People experiencing homelessness
4. At-risk young people under 25, experiencing any of the above
5. People in urgent need of sexual health or HIV/Hepatitis care

๐ŸŽ‰ Celebrating KRC at the NUAA Peers and Consumers Forum 2025!

Weโ€™re so proud of our incredible team members who shared their voices and insights at this yearโ€™s Peers and Consumers (PaC) Forum, hosted by NUAA NSW.

๐ŸŒฟ Ruby from our Projects team spoke powerfully on Agency & Autonomy (Women in AOD),
๐Ÿ’ฌ Trent, one of our Peer Workers, represented Community Voices in Focus, and
โœจ Akif, our Youth Project Officer, joined the Gen Z panel to close the event, answering the question โ€œWhere to from here?โ€

This yearโ€™s theme, โ€œTwo Steps Forward,โ€ was a reminder that progress is happening - and together, weโ€™re leading the way.

A huge thank you to NUAA for creating such an empowering space for connection, learning, and advocacy. Weโ€™re proud to be part of a sector that celebrates peer and professional leadership and lived expertise in action. ๐Ÿ’ช
