Our Services

Helping Sole-Parent Families in Crisis

Australian DIY Families exists to support sole-parent families through a range of essential services that help meet their physical, social, emotional, and psychological needs.

Getting Good Goods to Good People

Our ‘’Clients Only’’ Community Essential Service store gets essential items and food into the hands of at-risk families at prices that they can afford.

How you can help our causes

Australian DIY Families Institute services the southern villages of the Southern Highlands. Since the 2019 bushfires, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a very real lack of support to these areas. When you give to or support us, you are making a very tangible impact in the lives of vulnerable sole parent families and individuals in this region.
