Homelessness Australia

Homelessness Australia is the national peak body working to prevent and respond to homelessness in Australia. Homelessness Australia seeks to improve community awareness and understanding of the issues facing the 1 in every 200 Australians who are homeless. Homelessness Australia advocates for people who are homeless, aims to represent the interests of more than 1300 homeless assistance services, and contributes to policy development and the evaluation of Australia’s homelessness service system. Homelessness Australia works collaboratively with homeless people’s associations, homelessness assistance services, state homelessness peak organisations, national peak organisations from other sectors, governments, business and the broader community to achieve these objectives. Homelessness Australia represents the single men and women, families, young people and women escaping domestic violence who access the diverse support and advocacy services provided by our founding members.
