Financial hardship and inclusion

Too often people are forced to live without access to their basic needs like safe shelter, health, or the ability to participate.

The Salvation Army is a major provider of emergency relief, case management and financial counselling across the country. We also advocate to all levels of government on the need for:

• Structural reform to the social security system, including raising the rate of the JobSeeker Payment and Youth Allowance
• Improvements to responsible lending protections; and
• Expanding the support of social, community and affordable housing Read more about what The Salvation Army has said on this issue in our submissions below.
