EMBARGO TUESDAY Dec 16: The long list of trade-offs Aussies now make just to stay housed

Everybody's Home < 1 mins read

National housing campaign Everybody’s Home will publish its new report ‘Breaking Point’ on Tuesday December 16 which includes the survey results of hundreds of Australians who are struggling to afford their rent and mortgage. 

Ahead of MYEFO and with energy bill rebates coming to an end, the results highlight the extensive trade-offs Australians are making to remain housed, with reduced energy use identified as the most common sacrifice. 

The findings also expose Australia's poor housing conditions and the essentials that households are forgoing to meet rising energy bills.
