Sanctuary Housing Appeal
We are calling for donations of $25, $50, $75 or $100 to help brighten a Day for the women & children staying at our shelters.
Your donation will purchase a Coles Group & Myer Gift Card which is redeemable at Coles, Myer, Target, KMART, Officeworks & more!
So whether it is school supplies for the kids or purchasing essentials at Coles - your donation has it covered!
Every dollar received will go directly to the women & children staying with us. Don’t miss helping out.
Thank you for your kind support.
Donate Now
We wouldn’t be able to offer the help we do without the generous support of our community. Any donation large or small goes directly back to the women and children who stay at our shelters.
Sanctuary Housing is an Australian charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission at www.acnc.gov.au. It is a Public Company Limited by Guarantee and a

The foundation is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient and a Tax Concession Charity by the Australian Taxation Office. All donations $2.00 and over are tax deductible.
Corporate Partnerships
Across three properties, Sanctuary Housing is currently able to accommodate 100 women and their children (and their pets!) at any one time. We operate at approximately 90% occupancy year round.
In the last financial year, we assisted 1200 women and their children.
Sanctuary Housing was established to assist women and children in 2017 and is a self-sustained organisation, which operates 24/7,
365 days a year.
There are a number of partnership opportunities available. Whether you want to donate to the Foundation to help support women with housing or essential services, involve us in your workplace giving, or partner with us for fundraising events, we would love to hear from you!
