Volunteers help support our activities such as Sunday School, Kids Club, Youth Group, Home League, and Men’s Group. They also help with transport or community outings to increase inclusivity and accessibility.

You can also help by supporting the Home Time campaign.

The Salvation Army is one of the largest providers of homelessness services in Australia.

Every year, there are almost 40,000 children and young people who have nowhere to live across this country. Around 9,500 of them are 15–17 years old and thousands more lost their homes when they were children.

Current policies are creating lifetimes of disadvantage by failing vulnerable children and young people. It’s time to fix our housing system through policy change and dedicated investment.

The Home Time coalition and campaign are calling on federal, state and territory governments to:

  • Develop and maintain a national pool of 15,000 dedicated youth tenancies.
  • Provide linked support services to enable young people to pursue their goals and transition to independence.
  • Address the rental gap to ensure viability for housing providers and landlords offering tenancies to young people who have been homeless.
