It’s lovely to meet you…

Worthy Australia is an officially registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission (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 hope. We ensure the home is beautifully presented and well-equipped with everything from furniture, white goods, appliances, bedding, toys, everything down to toothbrushes and body wash. We let the families know that no matter their story, they are worthy of a dignified future. 

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.
