Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness - a reality that no one should face.

Through my work with the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music, I see every day how important access, opportunity and community are. We are constantly striving to create spaces where people feel connected, supported and able to express themselves through music.

That’s why I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout this year. For one night, I’ll be sleeping outside to better understand, in a small way, the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness, and to help raise awareness and vital funds.

The St Vincent de Paul Society does incredible work supporting Australians in need - providing not just immediate assistance, but pathways to stability and dignity.

To help break the cycle of homelessness, I’m aiming to raise funds to support this important work. If you’re able to contribute, even a small donation can make a meaningful difference.
