Youth Homelessness Matters Day 2025: Make a Difference
Every year, thousands of young Australians face the harsh reality of homelessness. On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, we invite you to take action and help change lives.
Why Youth Homelessness Matters
Nearly 40,000 young people aged 15-24 seek help from homelessness services every year.
Half are turned away due to a lack of resources.
Young people under 24 make up 40% of the homeless population.
Many face homelessness due to domestic and family violence.

Amanda left home at 14:
"I couldn’t deal with another beating. After I ran out of couches to sleep on and found myself with nowhere to go, I had to sleep on the street. At 4pm every day for 3 months, I had to make the descion to sleep under a light so if something happened to me I could be helped, or hide behind a bush and hope to God no one found me."
