Everybody's Home < 1 mins read

***MEDIA ALERT***

 

A new Everybody’s Home report reveals Australians on the lowest incomes are being priced out of renting in virtually every corner of the country, despite a rise in Centrelink payments and rent assistance.

The ‘Priced Out’ 2024 report shows people who primarily rely on Centrelink payments and the full-time minimum wage would be in severe rental stress across all capital cities and most regional areas. 

WHO: Everybody’s Home spokesperson Maiy Azize, and Community Housing Industry Association CEO Wendy Hayhurst 

WHEN: Monday 23 September, 9am

WHERE: Mural Hall, Parliament House, Canberra
