Catalyst Foundation supports the amazing work that Homelessness Australia does to raise awareness and affect positive change for those impacted by homelessness.

Homelessness Week aims to build community support and government
commitment to end homelessness.

Homelessness services are stretched beyond their limits.
In 2024-25, more than 370,000 requests for assistance either went unanswered, were turned away without support, or could not be met.

We encourage everyone to learn more about how you can help make a difference 👇

We were delighted to host this networking event as a thank you gesture for the continued support shown by the organisations and individuals that surround Catalyst Foundation 😊

As a not-for-profit organisation operating in South Australia for nearly 20 years, events like these are important touch points to facilitate ongoing awareness and support.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended 👏

This week is DonateLife Week 🫶

It’s the perfect time to register as an organ and tissue donor and tell your family you want to be a donor.

A simple conversation today could make a big difference tomorrow.
It only takes one minute to register at donatelife.gov.au or through Medicare.

Need help with your tax return? We're here for you.

Tax time can be stressful, but you don’t have to do it alone.

From late July to the end of October, Catalyst Foundation operates a Tax Help Centre where an ATO-trained volunteer can support eligible community members earning $70,000 or less each year.

Our volunteer can help you:
✅ Lodge your tax return
✅ Claim a refund of franking credits
✅ Lodge an amendment or non-lodgment advice
✅ Set up a myGov and link to the ATO.

Free and confidential sessions will be offered at Catalyst Foundation in the afternoon on Monday, Thursday and Friday.

Bookings are essential 👇
📞Call 8186 8776, option 1 for available times.

We had a wonderful day at the MCCSA Community Leaders Information Forum!

Earlier this week, Luisa and Thomas were pleased to deliver three information sessions covering:
✅ My Aged Care
✅ Aged Housing Options
✅ Residential Care Fees and Costs
for community leaders from Turkish, Brazilian and Czech communities.

Thank you to Luis Cohen and the Multicultural Communities Council of SA team for inviting Catalyst Foundation back again this year.

Working together helps ensure older people from culturally diverse communities have access to trusted aged care information through the leaders they know and trust 🤝

We love it when the WSE team comes to visit our North Adelaide office to give our cars a much appreciated (and needed!) cleaning.

Wesley Social Enterprises is an initiative of Uniting SA, offering meaningful supported employment to people with a disability across Adelaide.

We are always delighted to see there smiling faces, and they leave our cars sparkling too! ✨😁

It's NAIDOC Week 🎉
At Catalyst Foundation, we are privileged to celebrate, recognise and appreciate the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year's NAIDOC Week theme '50 Years of Deadly', marks a milestone.
It’s a tribute to the people who built this movement. the Elders who stood firm, the organisers who made space, the artists who turned resistance into expression, and the communities who keep showing up, year after year.
🖤💛❤️

To learn more and celebrate this week, get involved in one of the many events planned across the state:
