Cost of living

Everyone in our community should be able to access the essentials they need to live with dignity. Even when things go wrong, families should feel secure in the knowledge that they can afford a roof over their heads and food on the table, to pay the bills and maintain their health. Our Cost of Living Social Justice Statement outlines steps Government should take to end the poverty trap and make sure everyone can lead a full and dignified life.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this land, with deep respect. May Elders, past and present, be blessed and honoured. May we join together and build a future based on compassion, justice, hope, faith and reconciliation.
