Transparency at Left Write Hook

We believe in being clear, honest and accountable — to our participants, supporters, and the wider community. This page is your go-to spot to understand how Left Write Hook operates: how we’re funded, how we use our resources, and how we measure our impact.

Why Transparency Matters to Us

At Left Write Hook, we’re not about profit — we’re about impact. We work to create safe, healing-centred spaces for survivors and we hold ourselves to a high standard when it comes to governance, financial integrity, and program delivery.

We know trust is earned — and part of that is being open about our operations, finances, and policies. This page is designed to give you visibility into what we do and how we do it.

Where Our Funding Comes From

We are funded through a mix of:

  • Philanthropic grants

  • Government and community partnerships

  • Individual donors

  • Program fees

  • Merchandise and fundraising events

Each dollar allows us to grow the reach and quality of our programs — and we are committed to using funds ethically and effectively.

How We Use Our Resources

We prioritise funding that directly supports:

  • Program delivery (facilitators, support workers, materials)

  • Mental health infrastructure (clinical systems, supervision, evaluation)

  • Community building and survivor engagement

  • Staff and volunteer training

  • Organisational capacity — because we can’t grow impact without investing in our people and systems

We don’t believe low overhead equals better impact. We invest thoughtfully in our team, tech, systems, and space so we can deliver long-term, sustainable programs.

Reporting & Financials

We submit annual reports to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). Our financials are independently reviewed or audited as required.
