Hope in a Suitcase Australia is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers who are incredibly passionate about showing every child in the foster care system that they are loved and valued by their community.

Children are given a suitcase of their own to ensure they have a safe and secure place in which to pack their belongings and take with them wherever their journey may lead.

The suitcases are filled with essential items such as toiletries, (sanitary items for the older girls), underwear, a set of pyjamas and a change of clothing. They also include something to cuddle for the younger children, a book to read, a journal or colouring-in books and pencils to encourage creativity and provide a distraction away from their turmoil.

Safe Haven Community

Domestic violence doesn’t start in the first week of a relationship. It takes years of control and manipulation to get to that point, including emotional, psychological, financial and spiritual abuse, strong intimidation and isolation from family, friends and support networks. All the refuges and shelters are at full capacity, and the domestic violence and homeless response services are struggling to keep up with the flow of incoming calls from people in crisis. Prevention is the best cure.

Across Australia, there are 7.2 million spare rooms in private homes that are vacant for 90% of the year. Safe Haven Community maintains a national database of security-vetted community members that donate their spare rooms to someone that needs a safe place to stay. Together we offer a nurturing and supportive environment for up to three months and connect our guests to a network of professionals to offer guidance in building a better future free from fear and abuse. Their Placement Team and Case Workers ensure that everyone is safe and happy for the duration of the stay. Everyone’s safety is our highest priority.
