Mobilise x ImpactHack

Reimagining our response to homelessness.

What if one idea could help change the way Australia thinks about homelessness?

Join Monash ImpactHack, a one-day innovation competition where you'll work in interdisciplinary teams to tackle a real-world challenge set by Mobilise - Australia's first verified platform connecting direct funding to people experiencing homelessness, through trusted charity partners.

Homelessness is one of Australia's most complex social challenges, yet it's often viewed as someone else's problem. Mobilise is working to change that by making it easier for individuals, communities and organisations to take meaningful action.

Now it's your turn.

Working alongside students from across Monash, you'll explore how innovation and entrepreneurship can help create a future where homelessness becomes everyone's problem to solve. Whether your idea is a new product, service, social enterprise, community initiative, business model or creative campaign, you'll be challenged to think differently about how we can increase awareness, mobilise communities, strengthen support, and improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.

Tickets to ImpactHacks are a registration but not a guarantee of entry. Only the first 100 people will be allowed into the room for OH&S reasons, so we advise arriving by 9.30am to secure yourself a space.
