Just for the children Childrens Resource Library Other Documents - Child Specific Mission Australia-Child and Youth Homelessness Report
According to the 2011 Census, some 44,000 children and young people in Australia are homeless. The reality is worse; many others are ‘hidden homeless’ who are not counted in the official statistics.
There is a growing body of evidence being developed about the true picture of child and youth homelessness. Our own primary research, the Mission Australia Youth Survey, gives a special insight into the housing experiences of young people across Australia and from different socio-economic backgrounds, which is rare in the youth homelessness literature.

Brokerage Information 2016-2017
The Brokerage administered by the Statewide Children’s Resource Program has been refunded for the 2017-2018 financial year. Applications are now open.
This Brokerage Project, funded by DHHS, extended with the National Partnership rollover, is a wonderful addition to our program and we have been very impressed with the way people have thought creatively about how this money could support children within families they are working with.
Please read the Brokerage Guidelines and contact Susie Lukis for the 2017-2018 application form.
We know this money has made a very positive difference to the inclusion of vulnerable children in education and in their community. We thank you all for using this money to improve the lives of children experiencing disadvantage. Please pass this onto your teams and colleagues.
As well as the bokerage, please continue to use us as a resource for children in the Inner and Outer Eastern area. Our group work continues as previously and we are always open for referrals.
