JOIN US ON OUR MISSION TO CREATE EMERGENCY ACCOMMODATION AND LONG-LASTING SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

WELCOME TO THE NORTH STAR FOUNDATION

SUPPORTING SURVIVORS, CREATING FUTURES.

Safe housing changes everything. For women and children escaping violence, it’s the difference between fear and freedom, between uncertainty and a new beginning. Every home we create holds space for healing, dignity, and hope. With your support, we can give families the safety they deserve and the chance to build brighter futures. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

WHY WE EXIST

The statistics around domestic violence are overwhelming at times. With your help, we can support more and more affected families each year, and provide the safety & peace of mind they deserve.

Women and children left homeless in Australia alone each year after escaping domestic abuse.

Volunteers & staff needed to help create each home, from researching land to organising fundraisers…

You can help a family for as little as FIVE DOLLARS. Every donation helps us rebuild lives.

The number of safe homes we plan to build across Australia by 2030.

BUILDING TOGETHER

MORE THAN JUST A
PLACE TO CALL HOME...

Our homes are purpose-built, fully furnished, and designed to provide safety, dignity, and space for families to recover together. With two- and three-bedroom layouts, each property offers privacy in a secure, unmarked location close to schools and community services.

From the moment families arrive, essentials like bedding, toiletries, and children’s supplies are ready for them. Rent is kept affordable, and when it’s time to move on, each family leaves with a relief package: from food and school items, through to assistance with their next bond or rent deposit – all setting them up for independence and their new chapter.
