Homelessness Australia is the main peak body for monitoring homelessness in Australia. They provide systematic advocacy for the homeless sector Homelessness Australia doesn't provide accommodation of direct services but they do work with large networks of organisations to provide a unified voice when it comes to preventing and responding to homelessness. They use Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census of Housing and population and the AIHW specialist homeless service data collection for their statistics. this census is conducted every five years with the most recent one conducted in 2011. In 2008, the Australian Government released its first ever White Paper on homelessness entitled The Road Home which outlined a new approach to reducing homelessness in Australia based on three pillars turning off the tap (stopping the flow of homelessness), improving and expanding services and breaking the cycle of homelessness. Currently, most funding for the homelessness sector is provided through the states and territories under two Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreements: The National Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA) and the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness (NPAH). Currently, 1 in every 200 people on any given night are homeless in Australia however in 2014/15 255,657 people received support and almost seven million nights of accommodation were provided by specialist homelessness services. Homelessness Australia has an annual themed week which is used to raise awareness about homelessness in Australia for the people and the issues they face, usually held in the first week of August.
