Support from Street to Home

DineSmart is a hospitality industry recognised and led event that takes place every December. Since 2003, thousands of loyal restaurant partners and their generous diners have teamed up to make a difference in their local communities. Participating venues add a voluntary $2 donation on every bill during the month, giving their diners an easy opportunity to give back during the festive season.

The power of DineSmart lies in the collective impact of donations from restaurants, industry brands, and generous diners. These contributions are pooled together to fund solutions that provide care and support for people facing and experiencing homelessness.

What is DineSmart?

DineSmart is a hospitality-led fundraising initiative that takes place from 1 – 31 December. Each year, restaurants, industry partners, and generous diners unite to raise vital funds for those facing homelessness. These contributions are pooled together to fund solutions that provide care and support for people at risk, helping them transition from the street to a safe place to call home.

Why DineSmart Donations are so Important

There are over 7,600 people sleeping rough in Australia, but homelessness is not just about lacking a roof over your head. In fact, on any given night, a staggering 122,494 people are experiencing homelessness living without shelter, in crisis accommodation, caravans, couch surfing or in over-crowded buildings.
