Working together to end homelessness in Victoria

Learn more about homelessness in Victoria

Join the community movement to end homelessness in Victoria

‘Walk In Her Shoes’ – CHP’s touring exhibition and forum series – is now making its way around Victoria, sparking vital community conversations along the way.

The immersive exhibition challenges expectations of what homelessness looks like, by sharing the stories of three women who each experienced homelessness at a different stage of life – as a youth, as a mother, and as an older Victorian.

At each stop in the tour, a local forum brings together community leaders with homelessness workers, lived experience experts and MPs to discuss the actions needed to end homelessness in their region.

An Award that Works for the Specialist Homelessness Sector

The Fair Work Commission is currently reviewing the SCHADS award, which covers SHS workers, as part of its ‘Gender-based undervaluation – priority awards review’.

Based on consultation with the SHS workforce, our submission to the review highlights how the new award has the potential to support the SHS at a critical moment. The award is a chance to properly recognise the important and life-saving work of the SHS, after decades of poor pay for difficult work.

Vic Budget Submission 2026/27: A moment of choice 

The Victorian Government can choose to end homelessness now. But without decisive investment in the 2026/2027 budget, this opportunity will be lost – and tens of thousands of Victorians will pay the price.

In our 2026/2027 budget submission, we urge the government to seize this moment and invest in the priority areas of prevention, crisis response, and social housing. By acting with vision and empathy, the government can deliver the bold reform we need to secure housing justice for Victoria.
