Organisation Summary

Worthy Australia is an award-winning organisation dedicated to restoring safety, dignity, and stability for women and children escaping domestic violence.

Through our flagship Safe Haven Program, we transform empty houses into fully furnished, ready-to-live-in homes, providing families with a safe and immediate pathway out of crisis. Each home is established within 72 hours, enabling women and children to transition quickly from emergency accommodation into secure, long-term housing.

In a short period, Worthy has become a recognised leader in governance, transparency, and measurable social impact. Our model is both efficient and scalable, delivering exceptional value for every dollar invested while addressing a critical gap in the domestic violence response system—safe, stable housing.

Our impact is clear. Every Safe Haven provides a dignified environment for families to rebuild their lives. Homes are delivered at a fraction of the cost of traditional government solutions, while partnerships with businesses allow us to divert high-quality household goods from landfill, creating both social and environmental outcomes.

We are now expanding across Australia with a clear goal: to ensure no woman or child escaping violence is left without a safe place to go.
To achieve this, we are seeking funding partners committed to driving meaningful, measurable change.
