A frontline Sydney homeless service has had its patrol hours halved, inciting concerns about the welfare and safety of the cities homeless.
The Missionbeat vans, who provide the Sydney’s homeless population with blankets, bottled water, transport services and crisis accomodation, have had their patrol hours reduced from 16 to 6 hours per day.
These changes are due to a change in service models in order to more effectively target Sydney's homeless population.
