No woman or child should be forced to choose between violence & homelessness.

Worthy Australia is a Perth-based charity creating beautiful fully furnished homes for women & children escaping domestic violence. By eliminating the financial burden of furnishing a home after abuse, we help families move from housing insecurity to safety, stability & independence.

Worthy Australia is a Perth-based not-for-profit organisation dedicated to rebuilding the lives of women and children experiencing homelessness, due to domestic violence.

Founded in 2020, Worthy has emerged as a recognised force within the domestic and family violence sector, driving meaningful change and championing the needs of victim-survivors.

With a clear vision for stronger survivor support systems, Worthy has provided safe homes for over 490 women and children, through its primary initiative, The Safe Haven Program.

Our mission is to break the cycle of homelessness & poverty for women & children escaping domestic violence.

Worthy’s key initiative, The Safe Haven Program, turns empty houses into fully furnished homes for women & children escaping domestic violence.

How do you start over when you have been left with nothing?

Many women flee domestic violence with little more than the clothes on their back. After finding safety in emergency accommodation, they face another daunting challenge: securing a permanent home and finding the resources to furnish it.

For many women and children, this means moving into an empty house with almost nothing to their name. No beds, no fridge, no couch. Just a few belongings and a tough financial journey ahead, often referred to as ‘the second trauma’.

This is where Worthy Australia steps in.

Through the Safe Haven Program, Worthy transforms empty houses into fully furnished homes, removing the financial burden of furnishing a home from scratch and providing victim-survivors with a safe, dignified place to live and rebuild their lives.
