No one should be without a safe place to call home
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness.
This June, I’ll be swapping my bed for a concrete floor to raise vital funds and awareness for Australians experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. For too many people, housing vulnerability is a quiet crisis—one often driven by factors like domestic violence, underemployment, and age discrimination.
I'll be joining a team of incredible women in the construction industry who share a common goal of building inclusive communities, workplaces and support networks where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Sleeping out is just one night, but for thousands of women and families across the country, housing instability is a relentless reality. Together, we can help break the cycle—one donation, one conversation, one spark at a time.
Please support my sleepout by donating to Vinnies. Every dollar helps provide crucial services, emergency accommodation, and long-term housing pathways.
Let’s turn compassion into action. Let’s spark change.
