✨ Calling all Townsville hairdressers! ✨

In recognition of National Homelessness Week, The Women's Centre is hosting a community breakfast for women and children experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

We're looking for generous hairdressers who would be willing to volunteer a few hours of their time to provide simple haircuts or trims on the day.

At The Women's Centre, our Specialist Homelessness Team supports women and children to access safe accommodation and rebuild their lives.
Something as simple as a fresh haircut can restore confidence, dignity, and self-esteem, helping women feel empowered or simply feel like themselves again.

If you're a qualified hairdresser and would like to donate your time and skills to make a meaningful difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Please send us a message on 0419 728 832 if you are interested!

Why Volunteer with Kookaburra Kids?
At Kookaburra Kids, our volunteers are the heart of everything we do. As trusted adults, they play a vital role in creating safe, fun, and supportive spaces where young people impacted by family mental illness can learn, grow, and thrive.

Whether it’s guiding a group through a camp activity, lending an ear during a tough moment, or simply sharing a laugh, our volunteers help build the connections that make every program truly special.

What We Do
The Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation provides clinically designed, evidence based mental health education programs, in a fun recreational setting, to young people aged 8-18 years who are living in a family impacted by mental illness.



We seek to improve mental health outcomes for our young people by equipping them with a toolkit to develop:

Mental health literacy
Improved help seeking behaviours
Strong peer connection
Research tells us these are important skills to safeguard long term positive mental health and wellbeing.
