Commuters in Sydney would have seen a little snippet about the 32,000 To Go campaign in Central Magazine yesterday. To everyone coming from there — welcome! Thanks to Robert Burton-Bradley and the team at Central for their coverage for this critical Australian issue.
You can read the article on the Central Magazine website.
In this morning’s Daily Telegraph, the 32,000 To Go leaflet was released throughout New South Wales and the ACT. As readers in Queensland discovered last Thursday, this photographic essay is raw and though-provoking and is focused on bringing awareness to the fact that 32,000 Australians aged between 12 and 24 will spend tonight without a home.
If today is your first visit to this site, you’ll find information on ways to help and campaign on this topic, including some very simple and practical ways to spread the word.
If you’d like to download the the 32,000 To Go leaflet to read or send to your friends, you can download the PDF here.
On Friday, Oasis’s Captain Paul Moulds joined Gemma Snowden on The Wire, a national community radio current affairs program, as a follow-on for The Oasis documentary, and to help introduce the 32000 To Go Campaign.
You can listen to or download the podcast at The Wire’s website (it’s the second segment from the top). Many thanks to Gemma and The Wire for their time.
We have launched our 32,000 To Go campaign in Queensland today, with 175,000 leaflets inserted into the Courier Mail.
Above is a sample image of the confronting leaflet, which depicts some of the ways, both positive and negative, that the 32,000 young Australians who are currently homeless make their way off the streets.
The ultimate message is that together, we can make Australia aware of this problem and offer these young people a brighter future. The 32,000 To Go campaign insert will be distributed in New South Wales on Tuesday, September 8th, and will be available for download here on the same day.
You can read about 32,000 To Go here, or to find out more visit the Oasis Youth Support Network site.
Last Sunday night, we welcomed the team from News.com.au’s photo department to spend a night with Captain Paul Moulds on the StreetConnect bus. After witnessing the work of Paul and Oasis Youth Support Network, their encounter has been documented in a striking video essay, which is featured on the News.com.au homepage.

Jordan Belfort, nicknamed ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ earned millions on before succumbing to drug addiction and serving a sentence for stock fraud. Now twelve years sober and an internationally renowned motivational speaker, Jordan helps people and organisations break down the barriers holding them back from achieving success. His story will be immortalized onscreen next year in a movie directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo Dicaprio.
Currently in Sydney, Belfort has chosen to support Oasis during his trip and is conducting one of his legendary motivational seminars tomorrow at the Oasis Centre in Surry Hills, to 30 young people enrolled on the charity’s ‘Get Skilled For Work’ work readiness program; he is also planning additional events and sessions with Oasis while in Sydney.
Belfort was featured this week on Channel Nine’s A Current Affair, speaking about his past and what he hopes to help Australians and the Oasis Youth Support Network achieve during his visit here.
You can watch the video at the A Current Affair website.
