About Us
There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
As an organisation we are working to help solve poverty in the current COVID-19 pandemic which has completely changed our lives.
Poverty involves more than the lack of income and possessions to ensure supportable livelihoods.
Its indications include hunger and undernourishment, limited access to education and other basic human necessities, social biases and prohibiting participation in decision-making.
All Australians deserve to have a decent home to live in along with good living standards and prospects. We aim to inspire action and change that will create a prosperous Australia post COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
As Australians we have always rallied together in times of hardship and in times of need. We at Australian Family Network intend to work with people who are struggling to get by and provide them with opportunities to once again stand on their two feet and contribute back to our nation.

Homeless Australians
We understand the reality of financial hardship.
Some facts pre COVID-19 pandemic:
255,657 people received support and almost seven million nights of accommodation were provided by specialist homelessness services in 2014-15.
In the 2011 Census, 105,000 Australians were classified as homeless. This figure includes people in supported accommodation for the homeless, people in temporary accommodation; those 'sleeping rough' and people living in severely crowded dwellings (those that required 4 or more extra bedrooms to accommodate the residents).
The above number includes 17,845 children under 10 years, 402 of whom are sleeping out.
The Australian government made available several stimulus packages for millions of Australians and helped them through the pandemic. However, these stimulus packages come to an end March 2021 and may impact individuals who are actively relying on them for survival.
At Australian Family Network, we want to provide opportunities for the disadvantaged individuals and help them navigate back to work force and help ease their concerns about the most basic of human rights: food, water, shelter, clothing, education and civil protection.
