Homelessness Awareness Week: Free Movie Under Cover

Narrated by Margot Robbie, Under Cover is a documentary sharing the lives of an eclectic group of women throughout Australia. It highlights a devastating reality – women over 50 are the fastest-growing cohort experiencing homelessness in Australia.

Hundreds of thousands of homeless people in Australia are hidden and go unrecognised. The majority of them are women. These women are forced to live in their cars, stay on friend’s couches or sofa beds, or live in short-term accommodation.

The women featured in Under Cover are a diverse group from different cultural, financial and working backgrounds. With the hardships of housing stress and aging, these women are looking for a home to call their own, for the final chapter of their lives. They share complex and compelling stories that reflect the years of living ordinary lives until a catastrophe or a series of circumstances knocked them off their feet.

This event will have free snacks and drinks available to all attendees.

We are also running a collection drop for homelessness services in the area attendees are welcome to give or take from this drop box.
