One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference

Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. The scale of the issue is confronting — but it is not insurmountable.


This year, I am participating in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society, supporting Australians facing homelessness and hardship. For one night, I will sleep outside — not as a symbolic gesture, but as a reminder of the daily reality too many in our community endure.


Homelessness is complex. It intersects with domestic violence, mental health, addiction, and economic hardship. Breaking the cycle requires coordinated support, funding, and community leadership.


Helping people stay safe is the primary driver for me personally and for Gatekeeper Systems. Whether that is protecting retail teams from violence, safeguarding communities, or supporting those most vulnerable — safety and dignity matter.


If you are able, I ask for your support. A donation of $50 — or any amount you can contribute — will directly assist people who need it most.


Together, we can make a tangible difference.


Thank you for your support.
