About the Business
Welcome to Goodna Street Life Op Shop, located at 2 Smiths Road in Goodna, Australia. Goodna Street Life is an independent charity that has been providing housing and support for the homeless and vulnerable people in our community since 2015. Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of those who have been forced onto the streets and offer them a chance at a better future.
In addition to our shelter for the homeless, we have expanded our services to include our Op Shop, residential services, housing support, free counseling, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, work programs, and a community food bank. We strive to provide crisis and long-term accommodation through our specialist homeless services at Helens Haven Motel, where we offer a supported community environment and specialized care to help our clients overcome barriers and transition into stable housing.
As a non-government funded charity, we heavily rely on fundraising and donations to continue providing our vital services to the community. By making a donation, purchasing goods from our Op Shop, or supporting our fundraisers, you can directly support the work we do and help us make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
At Goodna Street Life, we understand that the causes of homelessness are complex and varied. That's why we follow the Housing First approach, which prioritizes providing safe and secure housing for those experiencing homelessness before addressing other health and well-being issues. While the development of Housing First in Australia has faced challenges due to the lack of affordable housing stock, pilot programs have shown promising results. For example, the MISHA project by Mission Australia found that after two years, 97% of clients were still living in secure housing, resulting in significant cost savings for the government.
We offer a wide range of services tailored to individual needs, including crisis and transitional support, assistance with government programs and rentals, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, counseling, employment support and skills training, and material aid such as food, clothing, and furniture through our food bank and Op Shop.
When you shop at our Op Shop at the Goodna Marketplace or make purchases through our online store, all proceeds go towards supporting our crisis and transitional housing services, homeless support, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Additionally, our food bank at Helens Haven provides food hampers, discounted groceries, and the option to pay your food account through centrepay.
We also host events and fundraisers throughout the year, such as our annual Christmas Carols event, featuring free entry, rides, market stalls, food, and performances by local talent. Kids under 12 can even register to receive a free present from Santa!
Join us in making a difference in our community by supporting Goodna Street Life Op Shop. Together, we can provide hope and support to those who need it most.

Reviews
"Lots of cheap clothes, toys, bedding etc"
"Amazing! Cheap prices AMAZING condition"
"This is our favourite op shop! Always has good prices and a fairly good variety of items. Very glad they were able to find a new location."
"NOW LOCATED AT St Ives Shopping Centre Goodna opposite Red Rooster! The best opshop in the area that helps homeless people and struggling families. This wonderful opshop was vandalised and burnt to the ground over a month ago. They have now relocated into the shopping centre in one of the exterior shops. The volunteers have worked tirelessly to get this great shop up and running again. It's still full of great fantastic cheap stock thanks to the great community. They use a colour sticker system with cheap great quality clothes homewares and bric-a-brac. Please get here and support this place."
