There’s still time to make a life-changing difference this Christmas. 💛

If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, we’re reaching out once more. Your gift today can help women, girls, and families rewrite their story.

The need is urgent.

Every year, tens of thousands of women flee their homes to escape violence. More than 45% of women seeking homelessness services are escaping abuse. Financial stress and housing insecurity leave families with nowhere safe to turn.

Good Shepherd is on the front lines—providing crisis accommodation, safe housing pathways, and long-term recovery programs, including five crisis properties, an emergency shelter, and a high-security refuge for those most at risk.

❤️ Your donation can help provide:
• Safe accommodation
• Trauma-informed counselling
• Financial support and long-term stability

Together, let’s help her rewrite her story.
💛 Donate today.

This week, GSANZ is honoured to celebrate NAIDOC Week with the incredible , a proud Yolngu woman.

As we mark 50 years of honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience, Leila's storytelling and reflections remind us of our ongoing journey towards reconciliation.

This year's theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy," inspires us to celebrate First Nation achievements and look towards a bright future.

She emphasised the importance of making time and space to listen to the voices of the young generation, who speak of their hopes and dreams for the future. These young voices need to be heard and supported as they each step into the future in their own way and in their own time.

Let us continue to support and elevate the voices of the next generation as they step into their future with strength and vision.
