Becoming Home Base

After 50 years of service under Colony 47, we are proud to announce our new name and identity: Home Base.  

This change reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting young Tasmanians and our renewed focus on ending youth homelessness. 

The new name, chosen by young Tasmanians, embodies what we stand for—a welcoming, safe space and a solid foundation for those on the journey to stability and independence.  

Over the past six months, we have worked closely with youth from schools, community programs, and various initiatives alongside our creative partners to develop this identity that truly resonates with our mission. 

While our name has changed, our dedication to supporting vulnerable young Tasmanians remains as strong as ever.  

For more than five decades, we have been part of the Tasmanian community, providing safe housing, support services, and hope to individuals and families.  

Now, as Home Base, we continue that legacy, offering essential services to anyone in need. 

Your support over the years has been invaluable, and we’re asking for your continued financial support to help us achieve our vision of ending youth homelessness in Tasmania. 

By supporting us, you will help us to provide the vital resources, safe spaces, and opportunities young Tasmanians need to build brighter futures.

Together, we can end youth homelessness.
