Habitat for Humanity Australia Habitat for Humanity is a not-for-profit provider of housing for low-income families in need. So with Habitat your dollar goes further.

We believe a stable, secure home creates the foundation for change, giving people the opportunity to be healthier, happier and more secure and for children to be better nourished and better educated. We believe building a decent home provides much more than bricks and mortar – it provides real hope for the future. We don’t give hand-outs; we give people hand-ups by building homes in partnership with families both in Australia and overseas. They put in labour and a deposit, and we assist with the expertise and financing and importantly, as the no-profit loan is repaid, it helps to finance even more homes for people in need. We don’t just provide a roof – we build communities. We also address water supply and sanitation issues and in some communities provide health, education – like teaching financial literacy and livelihood assistance.

Last night, we celebrated 50 years of Habitat for Humanity in Australia.

It was a chance to reflect on how far we've come, reconnect with supporters old and new, and celebrate the people who have made our work possible over the past five decades.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. Volunteers, donors and partners - your support creates safe and decent housing, and brighter futures, for people across Australia and around the world.

We were especially honoured to welcome our Patron, Her Excellency the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General of Australia, and thank her for joining us to mark this milestone.

Here's to 50 years of impact, and the work still ahead.

A massive thank you to every volunteer who joined our National Brush with Kindness Day yesterday!

As part of our 50th Anniversary celebrations, National Brush with Kindness Day was held to demonstrate the power of volunteering and the impact of giving back to our communities.

Across Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane, volunteers teamed up to help repair and refresh homes, shelters and refuges for people experiencing hardship.

If you’d like to join a future day, we’d love to have you. Find out more at volunteer.habitat.org.au.

Over the weekend, some of our team opened up a stall at Government House Open Day in Canberra 🏡

It was a great chance to chat with people about the work we do, from repairs and maintenance through Brush with Kindness to our international development work across Asia and the Pacific.

We were also glad to be there as one of the patronages of Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. Her support of Habitat for Humanity Australia helps us keep working towards a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to call home.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and tell us what home means to you.

World Habitat Day was yesterday and the theme for this year is Adequate Housing for All.

An estimated 2.8 billion people worldwide face some form of housing inadequacy. Close to 1.1 billion live in slums and informal settlements.

These aren't just numbers. They're families without a safe place to sleep, without stability, without the dignity that comes with having somewhere to call home.

World Habitat Day asks us to confront how far there still is to go. It's work we're committed to every day, not just one day a year.

Throughout July, our Brush with Kindness volunteers rolled up their sleeves for a month-long blitz, supporting frontline charities that provide vital services for First Nations people across Australia.

Volunteers from JAMF, MADDOCKS, Terumo, Bloomberg, Service Now, Arbonne, Built, Salta Brothers, Helia, Rawson Group, and Seymour Whyte joined us to help refresh and repair 10 homes, supporting 60 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children escaping family and domestic violence.

It's a small way of showing up during NAIDOC Week and beyond, and a reminder of what's possible when communities come together.
