flag Australia's homelessness crisis worsens, with rising rough sleeping, unmet needs, and Indigenous disparities, prompting calls for early prevention funding.

flag Australian homelessness services are under growing strain, with 353 unmet requests daily, primarily from women and children fleeing family violence. flag Rough sleeping has risen over 12%, and one in five clients is already homeless when seeking help. flag Indigenous homelessness has increased by 6% to over 82,890, making up more than a quarter of clients, especially in the Northern Territory where rates are 12 times the national average. flag Overcrowding in remote communities hinders efforts to stay connected to country. flag Experts warn people access help only after becoming homeless, overwhelming crisis systems. flag Homelessness Australia is urging a dedicated prevention fund to intervene earlier. flag Support is available via 1800 RESPECT, Lifeline, Men’s Referral Service, and 13YARN.
