What is material deprivation?
Material deprivation is living without the items that no one should have to go without. It means navigating daily life without the basic items that make a home safe, functional, and comfortable.
A home is more than just a place to live—it’s where we feel safe, comfortable, and ourselves. Research shows that furniture and furnishings provide a sense of personal identity, helping people feel secure and settled. But for many facing financial hardship, even the basics like bedding, cookware, or storage can be out of reach. Clothing is another essential that goes beyond warmth. Worn-out or ill-fitting clothes can affect self-esteem, dignity, and even a child’s willingness to go to school. In extreme weather, a lack of proper clothing can also impact health and well-being.
In Good360’s Fighting Material Deprivation 2025 Report, we explored the continued impacts the cost of living crisis is having on everyday Australians and their ability to afford basic home essentials. The report also highlights the demand that exists and how Good360 works with our member and partner networks to connect brand-new home items to vulnerable communities.

Steve's Transformation
We welcomed Steve with a hot meal and coffee and provided him with winter-appropriate clothes, including a Nike puffer jacket, a sleeping bag, a blanket, a pillow, a thermos, utensils, food, and travel bags to carry everything. When Steve put on the Nike jacket, his demeanour changed entirely. He transformed from the weary individual who walked in, to someone who felt like a superstar. His face lit up. Thank you, Good360 for your incredible generosity. Your donations are making a tangible difference in the lives of people like Steve, offering not just practical help but also a renewed sense of dignity and hope.

Creating a safe, welcoming, and functional environment
Our refuge has recently undergone renovations, and with the addition of new appliances from Harvey Norman, we can furnish our units and crisis accommodation properties in a way that truly makes a difference in the lives of our clients. These white goods are being used in kitchens and laundry areas, providing essential comfort and support for families who are rebuilding their lives after trauma. They help create a sense of normalcy during what is often a very difficult time.
We are incredibly grateful to Good360 for their generous support. These items are playing a crucial role in our ongoing efforts to create a safe, welcoming, and functional environment for the women and children who come to us for support.
Emerge Women & Childrens Support Network
Incredibly Generous Donation of Whitegoods
We are so thankful to partner with Good360 and the Davie Group to provide top quality, new bedding for the food pantry clients. Cyclone Alfred and the ongoing wet weather has meant that many households are battling mould and finding it hard to even wash and dry their linen. Having an extra set of bedding for each bed means that they can now wash and dry one set properly, without rushing.
The weighted blankets from the Davie Group were treasured by some of the teenagers who struggle with anxiety and other mental health issues. This is a luxury that many could not possibly afford. Thank you once again for providing dignity and comfort to some of the neediest in our community.

Disaster Recovery: Providing Hope and Dignity
When disaster strikes, families are often left with nothing—forced to start over without the essentials that make a house feel like home. The cost of rebuilding can be overwhelming, with rising prices for tradespeople and materials making recovery even harder. While grants and insurance can help, not everyone qualifies or can afford coverage, leaving many without the financial support they need.
That’s where Good360 comes in. We’re there not just in the immediate aftermath, but for the long haul—helping families and communities rebuild, piece by piece. Through our network of charity and business partners, we connect people with donated furniture, appliances, bedding, and other household essentials to restore comfort, stability, and dignity.
Recovery doesn’t happen overnight. Long after the headlines fade, we’re still there, ensuring families have what they need to turn their house back into a home. Because no one should have to start from scratch alone.
