For too many women, leaving an abusive relationship comes with an impossible trade-off: stay in fear, or face homelessness.
At North Star Foundation, we believe no one should ever have to make that choice.
That’s why we remove as many financial and practical hurdles as possible. There’s no bond required. Rent is capped at three times the Centrelink rental assistance rate. Every property is fully furnished. And when a family leaves our housing, we provide them with an exit package; including essentials like food, clothing, school supplies, even a contribution toward bond or rent for their next home.
Because leaving should never be punished. It should be supported, celebrated, and sustained.
When you donate, you’re not just helping someone escape, you’re also helping them land safely, stand tall, and step into the future on their own terms.
