Vinnies CEO Sleepout

18 June 2026
Skyline Car Park - Federation Square, Melbourne


As an influential leader in the business community, we’re looking forward to you joining us at the 2026 Vinnies CEO Sleepout on Thursday, 18 June 2026 - a moment to stand up and lead the way in supporting women and children in crisis.

This year’s event comes at a pivotal time. Women and children fleeing Domestic and Family Violence are now the largest group experiencing homelessness in Australia, and we need leaders willing to step forward and take meaningful action.

By joining us and sacrificing one night of comfort, you will help deliver a bold and tangible outcome:
a $1.75 million fundraising goal to purchase land and build a purpose-built refuge for women and children escaping violence -giving up to 20 families each year the safety, stability and wrap-around care they urgently need.

The Vinnies CEO Sleepout is more than our largest annual fundraiser. It’s a defining leadership moment - a chance to show visibility, credibility and commitment where it matters most, and to lead the way towards a safer future for Victorian women and children.

Registrations for 2026 are open. Sign up, or nominate a leader ready to rise to the challenge, raise vital funds, and help deliver real and lasting change.
