The Big Issue Australia is one of Australia’s leading social enterprises providing creative solutions to the issue of homelessness.

We achieve this by using different mechanisms to connect people with the community, such as The Big Issue Street Magazine Enterprise (a fortnightly independent current affairs magazine sold on the street by our authorised vendors), the Community Street Soccer Program (a national initiative using the positive power of sport to change lives), and The Big Issue Classroom (that challenges primary and secondary students to break down stereotypes surrounding homelessness and encourage tolerance and empathy towards all people).

The Big Issue opens its doors to all members of the community who are homeless or marginalised.
