Stopping no grounds evictions is a sensible reform

Homelessness NSW < 1 mins read

Dominique Rowe, CEO Homelessness NSW:

 

“Stopping no-grounds evictions is a sensible move that will help prevent tenants who have done nothing wrong from being at risk of suddenly losing their housing and facing homelessness.

 

“With 68,400 people accessing specialist homelessness services each year, we need further reforms and investment to fix the broken housing market.

 

“The government must better regulate short-stay tourist rentals by matching Victoria’s 7.5 per cent levy and imposing region-specific caps on the number of days they can be rented.

 

“It must also invest $1billion a year for the next 10 years to double the proportion of social homes to take pressure off rents and house the increasing number of people who cannot afford the soaring rental market.”

NSW Gov’s DV strategy has glaring omission

The Public Service Association of NSW (PSA) has welcomed the aims of the NSW Government's new strategy to address domestic and family violence perpetration, but has warned it will fail without tackling the privatised mess of frontline DV services. The strategy, launched yesterday by Minister Jodie Harrison, is focused on disrupting perpetrators and holding them accountable. But it says nothing about addressing the fragmented patchwork of underfunded community organisations responsible for keeping women and children safe. PSA General Secretary Stewart Little said the strategy was a missed opportunity. "You cannot be serious about keeping women safe while leaving their protection…

Small steps taken but more must be done to protect children from domestic and family violence

Small steps taken but more must be done to protect children from domestic and family violence Barnardos Australia strongly welcomes the NSW Government’s landmark strategy to acknowledge children as victim-survivors of domestic and family violence (DFV) in their own right, but more must be done to protect them. The NSW Government today released its Building Better Responses: NSW Strategy to Respond to the Use of Domestic and Family Violence 2026–2030, which recognises children are often exposed to DFV which can lead to worse health, social and educational outcomes and difficulties with emotional regulation, aggression and mental health. Major funding, including…
