Ending homelessness in Australia

Helping end homelessness

As part of our 2020-25 strategy, we're focused on helping end homelessness in Australia by increasing the impact of our services and advocating alongside our sector partners. Here’s how we help:

Homelessness prevention

With more than 160 years of experience, our wraparound services provide vulnerable people with help to tackle the root causes of their challenges and enable them to participate fully in society. From employment and training to mental health recovery and rehabilitation services, we help break the cycle of homelessness. Find a service.
