Erin is the Team Leader for the St Vincents Hospital Homeless Health Team. An incredibly humble leader with enormous skills to lead people to make a difference and provide dignity for homeless people who need medical and other forms of support. A former ICU specialist nurse, decided to leave the high demanding environment to go onto the streets and provide support for the forgotten people sleeping rough on the streets of Sydney. A story about leading an award winning response during the Covid Pandemic to ensure homeless people had support during the most demanding times of the pandemic. A story about how to influence policy and funding changes just by building relationships and providing evidence. A story about leading a team of people when they are dealing with people in despair but at the same time providing hope. Perhaps the most special part of Erin's story is there is always hope and always and ability to make people's lives better if you care. I wish we had more leaders at the level and calibre of Erin Longbottom, the world would be a better place. At the same time Erin is the mother of two children with her wife, living in the inner suburbs of Sydney.
