Today marks National Family Violence Remembrance Day during Domestic Violence Prevention Month. Domestic violence is a crime and also makes its victims highly vulnerable to homelessness. Due to the threat of rain, tonight’s outdoor candlelight vigil to raise awareness, has been moved to Queens Hall at Parliament House, Spring Street. 6pm.

As a supporter of the Home Time campaign, we are joining the call for action this week.

Home Time is asking supporters across the country to help show the strong community backing for fixing the Youth Housing Penalty and ensuring young people experiencing homelessness can access safe, affordable housing.

We’re encouraging our community of staff, supporters, partners and friends to head to the Home Time website and add your voice. The campaign is urging the Government to include a targeted Youth Housing Supplement in the 2026-27 Federal Budget, helping to close the rental gap that currently prevents many young people from accessing available homes.

Show your support, it only takes 30 seconds. 🧡🙏
