As an artist who's toured all corners of Australia for many years now, the growing wealth disparity and impact of the housing crisis in this country has never been more obvious to me.

Housing is a human right and yet, because of years of policy decisions and a lack of forward thinking, an increasing number of Australians are either already homeless or experiencing chronic housing insecurity. It's never sat right with me that a country as rich as Australia should allow a section of its constituents to live so precariously while others become more and more wealthy. I'm helping to facilitate my audience to support their communities in the hope that it further shines a bright light on the issues facing vulnerable Australians everywhere. Homelessness and housing stress can impact anyone at any time and, I feel that I have a social responsibility to communities, who have been so good to me over the years, to provide support for those people where I can.

If you have the means to contribute, I have selected a support service doing incredible work locally for each destination on the To Survive Tour. At each show there will an opportunity to donate, to meet the people behind the organisations, and to talk about ways you can lend support.
