About this product

Product Information

Missionaries, Radicals, Feminists is the story of North Yarra Community Health (NYCH). Established by John Singleton in 1869 in gold rush Melbourne and based on British models, the Collingwood Free Medical Mission Dispensary was among the first of its kind in Australia. It drew on a social model of health and a focus on social determinants of health. The mission provided medical and social services over the next 140 years alongside radical political action and advocacy against poverty, homelessness, discrimination and substance abuse. Singleton's was the first place in Australia to employ women doctors and was associated with many other reforms in health care, especially after it evolved into Collingwood Community Health Centre in the 1970s. These included campaigns around lead in petrol, cigarette advertising, free needle exchanges, welfare rights, and work injuries. Later amalgamations with Carlton and Fitzroy Community Health centres created today's North Yarra Community Health. The book reflects the traditions, triumphs and struggles of a Community Health centre in providing quality clinical services, while building community trust and participation, enabling the empowerment of women, reducing barriers to care caused by social marginalisation, and advocating for prevention and health promotion legislation. Historian Charles Rosenberg has argued that the history of the Dispensary Movement and its successors has been neglected but can provide would-be reformers with a useable past. This history aims to redress that neglect by telling for the first time a fascinating story of what became of Dr. Singleton's mission, and its lessons for future health policy.
