What we do

 Using our own journeys, experiences, tricks and tips, we have learnt to help those in the homeless community in Melbourne.

Our Mission

We are a group of peers who have had a variety of experiences with homelessness in Melbourne. We meet fortnightly at Kathleen Syme Library to produce ‘Need to Know’, a zine dedicated to providing useful, supportive and up-to-date information that Melbourne’s rough sleepers need to survive on the street.

Contributors

We’ve had many contributors over the past few years and we thank you all.

Current contributors: Jenni, Lee, D, Emily and others who wish to remain anonymous.
