Anyone can participate in Change47. We just ask you to sign up via our website change47.org.au. Fundraisers under the age of 18 will need permission from a parent, guardian or teacher (if they are participating at school).

Click on the register button at the top of the page, choose how you would like to be involved and fill in your details. If you still need assistance, contact our team.

Registrations opened 15 May 2023 and the campaign officially ended on 30 June 2023. 

After you’ve registered online, you’ll receive a confirmation email (check your junk mail if it doesn’t appear after an hour). Your fundraising page will be automatically set up as part of the fundraising process.

A fundraising page will be automatically created for you when you register. You can upload your own header and profile picture and share your page via social media. An email will also be sent to you with some tips.

Sharing your fundraising web page on Facebook is a great way to spread the word to more people! It’s easy too. You will see a button on your fundraising page that can connect to Facebook and share your page with some template wording (that you can change). Alternately When you log into your Facebook account, you should see a box that asks “What’s on your mind?”. Simply copy the website link (or ‘URL’) that we sent in your registration email and paste it into this box. That will create an image or ‘preview’ of the link. In the box, write a message about why you are supporting Change47 in front of the link. We also have social media tiles you can download and share on our resources page.

You’ll be surprised how keen your family and friends will be to get behind you and support people impacted by homelessness. Don’t forget to share your fundraising page on any social media profiles you have, like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, and maybe even in an email to work colleagues.

Originally a fundraiser for six new Beddown venues across Queensland, Change 47 contributes to Beddown's The Good Night Initiative, providing a much needed stopgap between sleeping rough and longer-term housing solutions.
