What you can do
Advocate to end homelessness
We are asking all Australians to speak up and be part of real change. By sharing your thoughts, you will help us advocate directly to local members of parliament (MPs) and key decision makers to end homelessness for good.
Just fill out the form below. We will then combine your input with others in your area to create a powerful local report. These reports will shape The Salvation Army’s conversations on housing and homelessness throughout 2026.
Speak up, be heard and help create a future where everyone has a place to call home.
More ways to advocate for housing solutions
Anyone can advocate to end homelessness! If you want to speak out effectively for change, here are three things you need to consider before you start.
1. What change for good do you want to achieve?
The Salvation Army has created several resources outlining what we think needs to change to help end homelessness for good, but you are not limited to actions or issues that are on our list. We encourage you to think about what you are most passionate about seeing improved in your local community. If you would like to learn more about all the social justice issues we are advocating for, you can access our reports and submissions here. You can also read our Social Justice Stocktake report, which surveyed local electorates all around Australia and revealed the issues individual communities cared about the most.
2. Who has the power to make change?
Australia has three levels of government and sometimes it can be hard to work out who has authority. In our policy statements, we have set out our asks for each level of government. However, if you aren’t sure, we recommend you approach your local federal MP first.
3. What is the most effective way to influence decision-makers?
Although there are many ways to influence a decision-maker, talking to them is always a good one. It is important to always be civil, clear and concise. Read our guides for some tips with getting started.
