Find Local Help Now connects people in crisis to food, health, shelter, and job help - wherever you are in Australia. Free, no account required, no judgment. For organisations: scalable social infrastructure that delivers measurable community impact.
Tap the category that matches what you need. The app finds real, available resources near you - and can send help directly to your location if you need it.
Tap green to find food relief near you - community meals, food banks, mobile outreach, and emergency grocery support. Real-time availability means you know before you travel.
Free or low-cost health services: mobile health clinics, mental health support, wound care, dental, and addiction services. For life-threatening emergencies, the app surfaces 000 immediately.
Emergency accommodation, short-term housing, crisis shelters, and transitional living options - updated in real time. Filter by gender-specific, family, or pet-friendly availability.
Employment pathways, resume support, training and education options, and local referral networks. Powered by REACHAU's community expertise and real human guidance.
Many partners now offer mobile outreach. Flag your location and request that help comes to you - food, health care, or welfare check. No address required. Help that finds you, not the other way around.
Request regular check-ins at your location from trained outreach workers. Activate or cancel at any time. Your data is never shared with authorities without your explicit consent. Safety on your terms.
Find Local Help Now includes a built-in AI assistant that helps users navigate resources in plain language. Not sure which category applies? Ask the AI. Need a mobile outreach team? Ask the AI to find one near you. For investors and partners: this AI layer is what separates a community directory from intelligent social infrastructure.
Every interaction on Find Local Help Now generates anonymised data that maps community need in real time. This is the evidence base that government, funders, and service providers have been missing.
Find Local Help Now is built for people in crisis - but crisis does not look the same for everyone. The platform is designed to meet people wherever they are.
People sleeping rough face the highest barriers to service access. Protect My Camp and Request Delivery are built specifically for situations where getting to a service is the problem.
Housing stress, family breakdown, financial crisis. Find Local Help Now connects people before they hit the streets - early access to shelter, food, and support pathways.
Domestic violence, sudden job loss, illness. The platform includes family-specific filters for shelter, food programmes, and support services that understand family needs.
Distance is a barrier to services. The platform's mobile outreach and AI-assisted resource matching helps people in regional and remote communities find what is closest and available.
Navigating Australian services is hard when the system is unfamiliar. No jargon, no bureaucracy. Just tap what you need and the app finds it.
When someone is stable enough to think about work and education, the Job Help quadrant connects them to the REACHAU network - real guidance, real opportunities, no judgment about where they have been.
You do not need ID. You do not need a referral. You do not need to explain yourself or justify why you need help. You do not need to be at rock bottom. If you need help right now - whether it is your first time reaching out or your hundredth - this platform is for you. That is not a marketing line. It is how the app is built, from the ground up.
Find Local Help Now is not a fundraising campaign. It is social infrastructure - the kind of investment that reduces emergency service demand, strengthens community resilience, and generates measurable outcomes in the metrics that matter most.
Every dollar invested in community crisis infrastructure is a dollar that does not go to an emergency department presentation, a police welfare check, an ambulance callout, or an emergency housing placement. Government agencies know this. Find Local Help Now gives you the platform to act on it.
The app provides early intervention infrastructure that diverts demand before it becomes an emergency event - with real-time data to prove it.
Cost estimates based on published Australian healthcare and social services benchmarks. Referral cost based on platform model at scale.
Modern ESG frameworks require demonstrable, measurable community impact - not logo placements on charity events. Find Local Help Now offers business partners something more valuable: verified, data-backed community contribution that satisfies ESG reporting requirements and builds genuine brand equity.
Your customers, employees, and investors are asking harder questions about what your community commitment looks like on the ground.
Partnership terms and pricing available on request. All tiers include verified impact reporting.
Traditional grant-funded services require annual re-funding to maintain a single worker, service, or programme. Find Local Help Now is a platform investment: once built in one community, replicating it in the next costs a fraction of the original.
Grant funding here builds infrastructure, not expenses. It creates the digital layer that makes every other community service more effective and more findable.
Aligned with Paul Ramsay Foundation, Minderoo Foundation, Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, and Commonwealth community grant streams.
When someone taps Job Help, they are ready - or almost ready - to think about their future. That is a significant moment. The platform honours it by delivering a warm, human, non-bureaucratic pathway: not a redirect to a government portal, but an introduction to a real person with real community knowledge.
From within the app, tap the orange quadrant. The AI assistant can help you describe what kind of support you are looking for - no need to know the right words or category.
The platform surfaces real local opportunities: employers open to community hiring, training courses, and education pathways relevant to your situation and location.
Complex career and education questions connect through to REACHAU - real guidance from a qualified professional with 25+ years of community education experience.
Britt has spent over 25 years working in community education, first aid training, and career support across Western Australia and beyond. REACHAU was built from the ground up to fill the gap Britt kept seeing: people who needed real guidance, not a list of links. The Job Help quadrant of Find Local Help Now is the digital front door to that network - warm, human, and judgment-free.
Find Local Help Now is not a government project, a corporate initiative, or an academic exercise. It was built by Britt Brennan - a sole trader, community educator, and founder of REACHAU - because the gap between people in crisis and the services that exist to help them was too large and too damaging to wait for someone else to fix.
The platform operates as standalone community infrastructure: independent, community-first, and built to scale without losing the human connection at its centre. It is not affiliated with government or a single charity. It connects to all of them.
Lower overheads mean more of every dollar goes directly into the platform and the communities it serves. Radical transparency is not a brand value here - it is a structural commitment. Monthly impact reports are published publicly. Data is anonymised. Users control their own privacy.
Free on iOS and Android. No account required. Open the app, tap what you need, get help.
Privacy statement: Find Local Help Now does not require account creation to access help resources. No personal information is collected unless you choose to provide it. Location data, if used, is not stored or shared. Your privacy is not a setting - it is the default.
Whether you need help today, or you want to help others get it - Find Local Help Now is where to start.
