HelpingACT helps all indiscriminately with special emphasis on helping homeless, refugees, asylum seekers, international students, and those in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities who struggle to find the support they need through other avenues.

This involvement has included financial contributions (in the 2020-2021 financial year we received around $25,000 worth of small donations), food and goods and volunteer hours (we have a network of over 40 Helpers).

Our beneficiaries are whoever call out for help, either through our network or contacting us via email, phone or our website form. We don’t ask any questions or challenge whether they “qualify”. If they ask for help, we help.

So HelpingACT is about a community looking after its own and that is at the heart of its mission:

HelpingACT is here to facilitate and encourage members of our diverse society:
to give to those who need it; and
to build a more compassionate and caring community.
