Funding from ICAP Charity Day will help transform its rehabilitation centres into trauma-informed spaces. Warm, welcoming and homely, these upgraded centres will break the cycle of addiction, supporting people to thrive with the highest standard of care - offering not just a house, but a true home for recovery.

Charity Overview

Odyssey House NSW is recognised as one of Australia’s largest rehabilitation services, supporting over 4,000 people annually through residential programs, outreach initiatives, family support, and trauma-informed care. For 50 years, it has assisted more than 50,000 individuals in reclaiming their lives. Each year, more than 3.4 million Australians use illicit drugs, with many experiencing challenges related to alcohol and other drug dependency. The cost to Australia is estimated at $23.5 billion; however, the true story lies in the potential for transformation. With appropriate support, individuals are able to rebuild their lives, strengthen their families, and contribute to healthier communities.
