Giving Day

This Giving Day, ‘From Crisis 2 Care’, every minute counts.

Almost a quarter of people forced into homelessness are aged between 12–24.

Last year, over 43,000 children and young people were on their own when they experienced homelessness. They had no choice but to fend for themselves in a system largely built for adults.

When a child or young person is forced into homelessness, time is crucial.

They can find themselves out on the streets at a moment’s notice, often with nothing but a few hastily packed belongings – or worse, with nothing but the clothes on their back.

Without guidance and support, these vulnerable young people can rapidly fall through the gaps and deeper into crisis.

But if they receive specialist support early on, we can reduce the risk of further harm and dramatically improve their safety and wellbeing in the long term.

Please support us today so that we can be there for young Australians without a safe place to call home.

Together, we can move young people from crisis to care. From danger to safety. From trauma to healing. From having no options to making choices for their future.

For 12 hours during National Homelessness Week, every donation we receive will have double the impact on the lives of children and young people facing homelessness.

Our special partners have agreed to match every dollar we receive by 8pm on Thursday 7 August.

Your generosity is the key to providing life-changing support for children and young people facing homelessness.

We believe every child and young person deserves a safe place to call home and the support they need to thrive. In the ongoing fight against youth homelessness, let vulnerable young people know that they’re not alone. Show them that there’s a community of people who care. Your compassion can be the turning point in their journey.

Don’t miss this chance to double your impact and show vulnerable children and young people that you’re in their corner.

A big thank you to our Matching Partners in 2025
