Brisbane and Regional 2026

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

Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year I'm taking part in my seventh Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money to support Australians in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.

To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

1 night might not seem a lot, but 7 x 1 night is an impressive commitment to the cause. Thanks for all you do to champion awareness, support, and change in this space, Chris.
