The Fight Continues - Let's get Homelessness to Zero

Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. It’s a reality that shouldn’t exist — and one that drives me to take action.

This year, I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout again, spending a night outside to experience, in a small way, what so many Australians face every day. It’s a powerful reminder that homelessness isn’t just one night a year — it’s every night for those affected.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support over the years. Last year, with the help of our community, we raised a record amount for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, and through the Brick by Brick project, we were able to purchase the land, build aa house and sell it, raising $840,000 to help those in need. I’m also humbled to be the highest fundraiser in the history of the CEO Sleepout — but these achievements only reinforce how much more work there is to do.

Homelessness is a challenge that demands ongoing action. Every donation, every conversation, every effort counts. If you can, please help me reach my target this year — even a few dollars can make a real difference to someone who has nowhere left to go.

Together, we can continue to support Australians experiencing homelessness and work toward a future where every person has a safe place to sleep.
