Not paradise on the Gold Coast

19 June 2025

Living on the Gold Coast should be paradise, but for many Queenslanders it’s the opposite. The cost of living over the last 12 months has seen many people – including young children – sleeping rough for the first time ever.

The cost of living has meant more Australians are at risk of homelessness. At Vinnies we are seeing a new wave of people who have never needed our assistance before.

Sign up to the Vinnies CEO Sleepout today, or sponsor a CEO, to raise crucial funds for people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage.
