Merry Christmas, From Concern Australia
As we draw nearer to Christmas, on behalf of myself and all of my colleagues here at Concern Australia, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to our cherished supporters and partners, for the support you have given us this year.

CEO Recap – SNAICC Conference
SNAICC (the national non-governmental peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children) held its 10th National Conference on the lands of the Larrakia people in Darwin in September. Andrea Greenwood (GM, Service Delivery) and I attended the conference as part of Concern Australia’s commitment to continually strengthening cultural understanding and practices.
Youth Homelessness… What Can Be Done?
Some researchers argue that the housing situation for young people at risk is the worst in over thirty years. We see this firsthand at Concern Australia. Many of the young people we support are working to overcome multiples challenges in an increasingly difficult environment. We have an innovative approach that we need your help with!
Homelessness Week 2023
