Age Matters tackles homelessness, ageism and social isolation head on. Why? Because disadvantage doesn’t discriminate.
15,000 people over the age of 55 are homeless on any given night.
2015-16 saw a 300% increase in the number of older women in NSW couch surfing or sleeping in cars.
64% of homeless older Australians will die within 5 years.
We’re working to change this, and you can help. Support our work or donate online.
