Worthy Australia - Supporting Women & Children

Worthy Australia is a domestic violence charity supporting women and children escaping violence by creating fully furnished Safe Haven homes, supporting pathways to stable housing, and helping women rebuild financial futures.


When families leave domestic violence refuges, they are often placed into empty housing with no beds, furniture, or essential household items. Worthy transforms these empty houses into safe, beautiful, fully furnished homes within days, restoring dignity, stability, and hope.

Why our work matters

Domestic violence is one of the leading drivers of homelessness for women and children in Australia. Many families leave violence with nothing and face the impossible choice between returning to danger or trying to rebuild from zero.

Worthy Australia exists to close the gap between crisis accommodation and long term stability by providing trauma informed, practical housing support when it matters most.

How Worthy creates impact

Through our Safe Haven program, we work alongside refuges, caseworkers, and community partners to:


  • Create fully furnished homes for women and children leaving domestic violence
  • Support stable housing outcomes and prevent returns to crisis
  • Reduce financial barriers to rebuilding after violence
  • Support circular economy outcomes by rescuing and rehoming quality furniture and household goods
  • Help women move toward long term financial independence and stability

Who we support


  • Women escaping domestic and family violence
  • Children impacted by domestic violence and housing instability
  • Families transitioning from refuge into long term housing
  • Women rebuilding financial independence after violence
