About Short Back & Sidewalks

We are a growing not-for-profit organisation that provides haircuts, free of charge and free of judgement, to Australians experiencing homelessness and poverty.

A haircut may seem small, but it can have a positive impact on a person's self-esteem and wellbeing. It could be the confidence boost someone needs to apply for accommodation or for a job.

Our aim is to give 15,000 free haircuts and positive community connections per year by 2025. That’s where you come in.
