Five wealthy Australians give up their lavish lifestyles for ten days to discover what life is like for the nation's 105,000 homeless people.
For five wealthy volunteers homelessness will become a terrifying reality. After handing in their phones and wallets, they change into secondhand clothing and are given a sleeping bag. Rain's forecast and temperatures are dropping fast - the participants are dropped in different locations with no money in their pockets and nowhere to sleep.
Five wealthy volunteers have faced some of the realities of homelessness in Australia after spending two days and nights sleeping rough on the streets of Melbourne. In the next stage of the social experiment, host Indira Naidoo and expert Dr Catherine Robinson reveal the participants are returning to the street, but this time paired with a buddy; a rough sleeper who calls the city streets home. Will personal connections with the rough sleepers see the volunteers' perspectives begin to change?
Five wealthy volunteers now reach the end of the social experiment, where the final stage sees the group discover what it's like to live in Australia's crisis accommodation.
