Jo Tonkin

South Australia 2026

It’s about raising awareness, inspiring action, and helping break the cycle of homelessness, one night at a time.

One night in the cold may not seem like much, but it can make a powerful impact. Every night, thousands of Australians face the reality of homelessness, yet it’s a reality we can change.

This year, I’m proud to take part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout at Adelaide Zoo, raising funds to support Australians doing it tough. For my sixth consecutive year I’ll spend a night outdoors, an experience that continues to open my eyes to the challenges faced by those without a safe place to call home.
 As the cost of living continues to rise, Vinnies is supporting a growing number of people who have never needed assistance before. You can help make a difference by making a donation, every dollar counts!

You're inspirational, Jo. Too many people are sleeping rough in Adelaide or living without adequate basics. What does this say about us as a community and those we elect to govern us?
