One night won’t change the world—but it might change someone’s life
Every night, more than 120,000 Australians don’t have a safe place to call home. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a crisis that’s unfolding in our own streets, our suburbs, and in my home city of Brisbane.
This year, I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout—spending one night outside to raise vital funds and awareness for those experiencing homelessness. It’s a small gesture, but one I hope will spark big conversations.
At Pinnacle Safety and Training, our purpose is “Improving lives through education.” But without stable housing, education and employment are often out of reach. That’s why this cause matters to me—not just professionally, but personally.
Your support can help fund real solutions. Just $100 can provide emergency accommodation, warm meals, and critical support services for those who need it most.
If you’re in a position to give, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Together, we can help break the cycle.

Sorry Ben, but I will be quietly wishing for the coldest night of the year for your sleepout... only because I know you enjoy a challenge. Homelessness in Australia is a social issue that we can and should do more for. Raising awareness and supporting Charities that are at the front line is a wonderful thing to do, well done Ben
