Worthy Australia

Worthy Australia is an officially registered charity with ACNC. Our mission is to break the cycle of homelessness for the women and children of Perth, who have been disadvantaged by domestic violence.

Lack of financial independence is a key reason many women and children remain in domestic violence affected homes here in Perth. Many women fleeing domestic violence relationships must leave in brief, opportunistic moments, with nothing but the clothes on their back.

These women then find themselves in refuges or shelters with no money or means to provide for themselves or their children. How do you start again when you have nothing to your name? That's where Worthy Australia comes in. We turn empty houses into homes for women and children who are exiting domestic violence refuges or transitional housing.
By driving donations in Perth's local communities, we source every single item needed to rebuild their lives with love and self worth.
