  • Search for a specific postcode or suburb you want
  • Click on the red circles to see the list of applications in that area
  • Use the slider to increase or decrease time period.

Note: This map shows applications received by NZF, not cases assisted. Applications are reviewed under our Zakat eligibility framework and support is provided to those who qualify.

You can view the interactive map on your mobile but it's best viewed on desktop.

  • We have removed any applications in relation to Family Violence or very specific circumstances for privacy & confidentiality of the applicant.
  • We have anonymised certain details of applications for privacy & confidentiality of the applicant.
  • These applications are at various stages of our Zakat assessment & approval framework.

Why are we sharing this with you? 

We believe our community deserves to see the full picture and that means being open about the work we do with your Zakat. We're sharing it because: 

  • Need is closer to home than most of us realise. There are families in your suburb, quietly facing food insecurity, risk of homelessness, or financial crisis. We hope this map builds unseen connections that allow us to care more about one another. 
  • Your Zakat deserves transparency. When you pay your Zakat locally to NZF, you're fulfilling an act of worship and placing trust in us. We take that seriously, and we want you to see exactly how we're honouring it - case by case, suburb by suburb. 
  • We want to hear from you. We want your input. Your feedback, questions, and ideas help us continuously improve this initiative as we want to add a lot more details to this to give you a real feel of the pulse of our community, right here in Australia. Please send through any feedback you have via our contact us page
