3rd Space

A safe place to connect, find dignity, and take steps forward.

3rd Space Brisbane is a welcoming drop-in centre in Fortitude Valley, offering daily support, essential services and warm meals for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

17/06/2026

We have some important news to share with our community.

We are proud to announce that Matt Kearney has joined 3rd Space Centre as our new chief executive officer.

Matt has spent more than 25 years working with people in their greatest need, from his early days as a Rosies volunteer to senior leadership roles in some of Australia's leading health and homelessness organisations. He is here because this work matters to him, and because the need has never been greater.

In the past 12 months, more than 40,000 people visited 3rd Space Centre. We served 61,377 meals.

On June 1, 2026, a record 183 people came through our doors in one day.

The people who walk through our door every morning come from every background. What they have in common is that they need support right now, and we are here to provide it.

Our cafe, rest area, showers and laundry receive no government funding. Every dollar donated goes directly to keeping those doors open.

If you can support us, please follow the link below. Every contribution makes a difference.

Your donation is tax deductible.

🌱 A HUGE thank you to Calib from CC Landscaping! 🌱

This week, one of our courtyard areas received the most incredible makeover and it’s all thanks to the generosity and hard work of Calib from CC Landscaping.

Calib volunteered his entire Sunday to transform a space that had become overgrown and unusable into a fresh, clean and welcoming outdoor area for our community. Giving up a weekend is generous for anyone, but it’s especially admirable coming from a new small business owner in the early days of building his company.

The results speak for themselves, the area is now cleaner, brighter, and far more usable, giving us a refreshed and functional space to continue improving.

And the best part? This is only the beginning for this space. Thanks to Calib’s work, we now have a strong foundation to continue improving and creating an outdoor area that truly supports wellbeing and connection.

💚 If you’re looking for someone with heart, skill, and a true commitment to community, please support CC Landscaping:
👉 Follow Calib’s page on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cclandscapingau/
👉 Share his work
👉 Keep him in mind for your next landscaping project

Community thrives when small businesses step up like this, thank you, Calib. We’re so grateful. 🙏🏻

🌟 Your Support Makes a Real Difference 🌟

Every day, the 3rd Space community rallies around people doing it tough, and right now, there are practical, meaningful ways you can help.

We are currently seeking specific essential items that directly support the comfort, dignity and wellbeing of the people who visit our centre.

If you're in a position to give, these items make an immediate impact:
🧴 Toiletries – Travel size preferred. Why? Travel-size items are easier for people to carry, especially for those without stable accommodation. They reduce weight, fit easily in bags and pockets, and help ensure hygiene supplies last longer without creating extra bulk.
🪒 Razors – Men’s and Women’s
🩴 Thongs - All Sizes, especially bigger sizes for men
👜 Bags - Backpacks, tote bags, and everyday carry bags
👖 Belts - Suitable for adults of all sizes and genders
🩲 Men's and Women's Underwear (Men - Sizes small to medium only)

These essentials help people stay clean, safe, comfortable and connected, small items that can significantly change someone’s day.

🙏 Please note: Due to limited space, these are the only donations we are able to accept at the moment. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to show up for your community. Your generosity truly matters. 💙
