Poverty in Australia 2025 - send to your MP

We've just launched our Poverty in Australia 2025: Overview report today. And the research has raised some alarming results.  

The headline finding? Poverty has increased to 1 in 7 people in Australia. 

That's 3.7 million people living below the poverty line, 757,000 of whom are children. One in six kids live in poverty. This is unacceptable in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. 

While the Federal Government has taken some steps, it's clear that much more needs to be done. We need income support payments that people can actually live onWe need to Raise the Rate

Will you share the report with your federal MP.
