Homelessness in Australia is a complex, nationwide issue that cannot be addressed without accurate information, direct engagement, and informed policy advocacy.

Echarity Australia is developing a national awareness, research, and advocacy program designed to better understand homelessness as it exists today — across metropolitan, regional, and remote communities — and to ensure decision-makers are guided by evidence and lived experience.

Awareness must be supported by action to be effective.

Donations to this program support activities including:

• ✈️

  Travel across Australia to engage with communities experiencing homelessness

• 👥

  Direct consultation with individuals affected by housing insecurity

• 📝

  Field research and documentation of service gaps and needs

• 🤲

  Engagement with frontline service providers and community organisations

• 🏛️

  Meetings with government ministers, departments, and policymakers
