A huge thank you to ALE Clothing & Signs Pty Ltd and DP Wealth Advisory for their incredible support. If you know, you know, and we know these two blokes are pretty amazing humans. Thanks to Andrew and Campbell for sponsoring the brand-new wrap on the Protea Place van. She looks absolutely fantastic, and we are so grateful for your generosity and kindness.

A Lifeline for Protea Place The June 2025 announcement of a government contribution towards the operational costs of Protea Place has been a true lifeline for us. This funding assists with: Wages for our skilled practitioners Rent for our site However, we remain responsible for raising the additional funds required to cover: Meals Insurances Utilities Running vehicles Emergency brokerage for clients Programs and resources Marketing and events Office equipment and stationery Our Welcome Home Project While we apply for community grants wherever possible, most do not allow for covering existing or ongoing costs. That’s why the support of our community is so vital. We are deeply grateful to: Our sponsors and donors who give a little regularly — it makes an immense difference. Those who host fundraising events on our behalf. Those who quietly deposit a gift into our account. Those who drop off food and clothing donations. Those who provide free or heavily reduced goods and services. Looking ahead, we will be hosting two major fundraisers in 2026 and warmly thank you in advance for attending, purchasing raffle tickets, or supporting us through sponsorship.

This heartwarming milestone was only possible thanks to the incredible support and generosity of agencies, businesses, and our wider community, who came together with one goal: to make a house a home. 4 Homes in 1 Day  An extraordinary collaboration made possible by an extraordinary community. We are deeply grateful to: People First Bank Foundation Set Up Youturn Brokerage Footprints Community Brokerage MYER WHP Community Grant (furniture) Queensland Housing IHR Thru A Lens Media (video) McNab (vouchers) A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for turning hope into reality.
