Our new report shows that rents have surged so much that even people working full-time can’t keep up - so spare a thought for those working casually or out of work altogether. We need to take action on unfair rent increases and the #CostOfLivingCrisis. 9news.com.au/national/cost-o…

A report by @anglicare_aust found no affordable rentals in Australia for a person on Youth Allowance, and just four rooms in share houses for those receiving JobSeeker. We urgently need to #BuildSocialHomes today #EverybodysHome

Our #JobsSnapshot shows people are living in poverty while they apply for jobs they can't compete for. We need to #RaiseTheRate of JobSeeker before Christmas - and create jobs for people who want them #88aDay

Our #JobsSnapshot is out today. It shows schemes like Work for the Dole and Workforce Australia aren't just failing people. They're hurting them. The Govt should stop wasting billions punishing people and #raisetherate before Christmas #88aday theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Thousands of Australians locked out of employment as entry-level jobs dry up, survey suggests

Anglicare says there are 15 applicants per position but many often stand little chance of success due to lack of experience, age and other barriers

There are 2.8 million unpaid carers that make up a crucial part of the care sector in Australia – so how can they be better supported as they supplement an industry that is forecast to have a shortfall of 100,000 care workers within 5 years? #TheDrum #NationalCarersWeek
