This Anti-Poverty week (13-19 October), the UnitingCare Network is coming together to advocate for change. In Australia today, over 3 million people, including 761,000 children (1 in 6), live below the poverty line. Poverty is not just about income; it is also about a lot of other things, from limited access to work, education and adequate housing to essential services. Blaming poverty on individual choices overlooks the structural drivers that sustain hardship. It’s crucial that we dismantle these barriers to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to succeed. Poverty exists, and poverty hurts us all. Together, we know we can work towards a fairer society where every Australian can thrive.
