Home Base

Home Base Everyone needs a home base. We exist to provide you with a safe, stable foundation to grow, dream and build your future.

We’re here to end youth homelessness and provide young people with resources, safe spaces and opportunities to build brighter futures. For over 50 years, we’ve been helping young Tasmanians with employment, education, housing and relationships. We help young people from age five to 25, with:

Rental subsidies to help you afford a stable place to live. Educational support to help you re-engage wit

h school or pursue further learning. Family and relationship support to foster better communication and rebuild connections. Ending violence in the home so you can live in a safe, supportive environment. Accessing essential services to connect you to the support you need to live independently. Crisis and immediate support to help you find a safe space when you feel like you’re out of options. Everyone deserves a home base; we’re here to help you build yours.

To everyone who supports Home Base, we thank you.

To our partners, funders, advocates, collaborators, donors and community… our work is stronger because of you.

Every conversation, every contribution, every opportunity opened helps create better outcomes for young Tasmanians.

Because behind every young person finding safety, belonging and hope, there is a community choosing to stand beside them.

And if you’ve watched our documentary and thought “I’d like to be part of this” — we’d love to hear from you.

You've possibly seen our Home Base Documentary by now, but what you've seen is just a glimpse.

At Home Base, we know what works. We’re ready to do more. But we can’t do it alone.

If this story resonates with you, partner with us.

You can do that by buying some of our new merch (created with young people) and brought to life by Slick Branding. Thank you Slick, and the young people who shared their creative ideas.

You can also reach out and talk about working together or make a donation. Any amount helps.

Help us reach more young people, expand what’s working, and create futures filled with safety, belonging and hope.

Our work is powered by people.

Not programs. Not systems. People.

The ones who show up every day — into complexity, into uncertainty, into tough moments — and don’t turn away.

Who listen first.
Who meet young people where they are.
Who never give up on what’s possible.

This film is a glimpse into that.

Thank you to our staff and directors, thank you for all that you do. We couldn't be prouder of the Home Base team.

This one’s pretty special 💛

This year, for Youth Week Tasmania - we teamed up with an incredible group of young people to create a merch collection designed by them, for them. Turning ideas, artwork, and creativity into something real.

From workshops and sketchbooks to finished designs on merch, this project was all about giving young people space to create, collaborate, and have their voices seen.

Huge thanks to the young people who jumped in and shared their ideas with us, you made this project what it is ✨

And a big shout out to Indie School New Norfolk, Youth Network of Tasmania, Tasmanian Government, Slick Branding and Minch Media for helping make it happen via many different streams.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at the collaboration 🎬

Our friends over at Oi Studios have been busy these last few months, meeting our team, listening to our stories, documenting our days and learning our why.

We're incredibly proud of our people and the work they do, and we're grateful to OI Studios for helping us bring this to life...

There's a few more sleeps until the premiere, but we wanted to create some buzz and share some behind the scenes snaps!
