Donate Your Car

Donate your old or unwanted vehicle and help us prevent youth homelessness.KUC0018_DonateYourCar_Web

The Donate Your Car program is a free and fast alternative to selling or trading. It is an easy way to make a significant contribution to the lives of young Australians who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

The process is simple!

5 quick steps to donating



1.  Before you fill in the donation form below, please make sure that:

  • The vehicle is located within 75 km of Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville, Perth, Hobart or Adelaide.
  • The vehicle is easily accessible for a towing truck (the towing truck driver will be by himself and cannot jump start or push the vehicle).
2. Complete your donation form. If you have any questions or would like a hardcopy form sent out just give us a call on 1800 801 633.
3. Cancel your registration, remove the number plates and hand them in to your local transport authority.
4. We will call you to arrange collection of your vehicle, and your vehicle gets collected through our Platinum Partner, Manheim, on the date specified by you.
5. Your vehicle goes to auction at Manheim and 100% of the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle go towards preventing youth homelessness. Thank you!

Our Scholarship Program helps young people to stay engaged with education. By covering education expenses, young people are empowered to continue their study or job training. This can lead to more positive employment opportunities, ensuring the young person has a productive, functioning place in their community.
Our Mentoring Program offers positive role models who connect with young people and offer guidance, support and encouragement. As confidence, self-esteem and social skills improve, young people are in a better position to make life-changing decisions.
