HMS Community
Description
HMS Community is Australia's first Community Paramedic-led Healthcare Charity, providing aged and disability support to people in their home in Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs and Macedon Ranges.
Established in 2020, HMS Community emerged in response to the escalating ambulance callouts, emergency room visits, and hospitalisations in the Sunbury and Macedon Ranges districts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pioneering a groundbreaking initiative within Australia, HMS Community became the first organisation to introduce a Community Paramedic-led program, offering essential, personalised healthcare services to the people of the Macedon Ranges and its neighboring areas. HMS Community was founded by two dedicated healthcare professionals committed to providing accessible and inclusive healthcare to individuals who otherwise faced barriers in accessing it.
