EveryMan Australia

EveryMan is a Community Organisation that accommodates clients under two programs - Indigenous Family Program and Men's Accommodation Support Service (MASS).
In total, EveryMan accommodates 98 clients in 75 properties. Indigenous Families Program - this accommodation is temporary as families are supported while transitioning to the own accommodation, and as they usually present in crisis/homelessness, don't have any household items/furniture of their own. When they find permanent accommodation, often take the furniture EveryMan has provided them.
MASS - Accommodation for single men in crisis due to Mental Health issues, usually coming from homelessness and requiring support with housing and managing a tenancy. Most do not have furniture and other household or personal belongings when entering accommodation.
Sometimes, due to the nature of their inability to independently sustain a home/tenancy, furniture may become damaged and requires replacing.

Fearless Women

Through mentoring and education Fearless Women supports girls and young women meet the challenges of everyday living...and to live the life they want...fearlessly.

2018 research showed that girls and young women in the ACT experience the poorest mental health of any group in the country. This situation has not improved, yet until last year there was no organisation dedicated to helping those girls who easily fall between the cracks (the Missing Middle) and spiral to experience significant mental health challenges.

Formed in 2020, and starting to deliver services in 2022, Fearless Women provides preventative and early intervention programs so that young women, aged 10 to 25, in the ACT and surrounding areas understand emotions, their personal values and strengths. Our programs also show girls where to go for help if they start to experience poor mental health, and how to help someone who reaches out for support.

Our founder Amanda Giblin partnered with Dr Sharon Mackenzie to build a program that offers a holistic solution to violence against women. We understand how vulnerable learning new things feel. Hence our stringent policy of female trainers for female clients, and vice versa. Moreover, we know exactly how it feels to be the physically smaller or physically weaker individual in conflict.
