StreetSmart Australia

Founded in 2003, StreetSmart Australia is a charity based in East Melbourne, Australia working on housing & homelessness.

StreetSmart Australia is a national homelessness charity founded in 2003 by Adam Robinson, who had worked at a youth service in Dandenong, Melbourne. The charity raises funds through public campaigns and corporate and philanthropic partnerships, then distributes them to small, frontline and grassroots homelessness and community services across Australia. Its main programmes are Community Grants and Material Aid, which favour smaller organisations with limited fundraising capacity and often prioritise funds raised locally. StreetSmart also provides educational resources for schools and a homelessness knowledge hub, and advocates for the view that housing is a human right and that homelessness is solvable. It is headquartered in East Melbourne, Victoria, and states that it supports all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
