Poverty or violence? That is a decision that we believe no woman or child should have to make. 

Founded by Perth nurse Jennifer McGivern, Worthy Australia is a Perth based not-for-profit organisation that provides life changing support to women & children who have experienced homelessness due to domestic violence. 

Through our  Safe Haven program, the volunteers at Worthy Australia turn empty houses into beautiful fully furnished homes for families  who without this program, are unable to leave domestic violence refuge.

The beauty of the Worthy Safe Havens are not only in the tangible goods that are gifted unconditionally, but in the gift of things that cannot be seen, only felt.  Each Safe Haven gives a  brave family  the gift of kindness and compassion through the creation of a home they can be proud of. With a Safe Haven  comes safety and comfort but most importantly, we give them hope & self-worth... things that are taken away from from a person when they experience violence and trauma. 

Breaking the cycle of domestic violence related homelessness is our mission here at Worthy Australia and through the Safe Haven Program and our soon to be launched Career Worthy Women Scholarship program, we are making a real difference. 

All of our operations and organisational roles are proudly completed by our incredible group of volunteers and are proud to partner  with the dominant Refuge Networks in Perth, including Zonta House, Orana House, Salvation Army Women’s Refuges and Ovis Community.
