Helping the Homeless across Australia - Backpack Bed for Homeless Australia

HELPING THE HOMELESS AUSTRALIA in 2025

Dignity is a human right

Have you seen someone in who is homeless sleeping on the street?

Do you wish they had a portable shelter - Backpack Bed (swag) and a Fire Retardant Sleeping Bag?

Fact. There are not enough shelters and governments ignore the basic human right to shelter and dignity.

122,494 Aussies are homeless today (ABS 2021).

This year over 45,800 Aussies will sleep on the street (ABS 2021).

In 2022 - 2023 over 108,000 requests for accommodation from homeless people across Australia could not be met (AIHW 2023).

up to 21% of homeless Aussies sleeping on the streets have suffered cold/wet illnesses hypothermia, frostbite or trench foot (MS2H 2011).

Backpack Beds (swags) SAVE LIVES

You can make a difference - Donate today

Our program is not government funded. However, the sad reality is - the only barrier stopping us from handing more Backpack Beds to folks you see on the street - is your powerful donation.
