24.01.2022 Australians can't afford huge cuts to income support, which the Government is planning in just months. We can never go back to the old, brutal rate of Newstart at just $40 a day. The increases must become permanent - and they must go to everyone in need, like people with disabilities and age pensioners. #RaiseTheRate #NeverGoBack

20.01.2022 Are you a renter? Want to make your voice heard and help other renters along the way? Our friends at Better Renting are doing a landmark survey on renting during the coronavirus! Take a few minutes and share your story - and pass it around to your friends www.rentingandcoronavirus.com.au

20.01.2022 Cutting Jobseeker in September would create a national crisis. Our latest survey shows why - the old rate was forcing people to turn to charity just to get by. It's time to #RaiseTheRateForGood.

18.01.2022 Sorry means you don’t do it again. #SorryDay

18.01.2022 "Anglicare Australia's Snapshot also shows only one percent of rentals are affordable for people on the Age Pension, and only half a percent are affordable for someone on the Disability Support Pension. HALF. A. PERCENT." - Couldn't have said it better than the team at Junkee! Find out more www.anglicare-ras.com #RentalSnapshot2020

15.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS: This downturn is hitting jobseekers hard. For every entry-level job, there are 106 jobseekers. Eight of these jobseekers don't have qualifications or experience, and they're drowning in an ocean of competition. It's time to invest in job creation - and stop punishing people who are out of work. #AntiPovertyWeek #JobSnapshot2020

13.01.2022 People with disability are at the very bottom of the rental market. Our Rental Affordability Snapshot shows that disability pensioners can't afford 99.5% of rentals. Instead of looking out for them in a health crisis, we're leaving them to the mercy of the market. They should be getting the same payment top-ups as other people who are out of work.

13.01.2022 Age pensioners are not getting any extra support during the coronavirus pandemic - and they're paying the price. Our Rental Affordability Snapshot shows that a single person on the age pension can't afford 99% of rentals. We should be protecting older people, instead of hanging them out to dry....

12.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS: The Government will cut JobSeeker by $300 a fortnight. Hundreds of thousands of people will be pushed into poverty at a time when they should be getting back on their feet. We want to see the Government #RaisetheRateforGood and end the poverty trap instead of leaving people behind.

11.01.2022 There is no use punishing people who are our of work. Our latest research shows that the jobs just aren't there. There aren't enough jobs in any part of the country for the people who want them. And some people - like older workers who were laid off later in life - are doing it especially tough. It's time to stop blaming people and start helping them. #JobSnaphot2020 #APW2020

08.01.2022 "Even in this historic downturn, renters are spending record amounts to keep a roof over their heads. Many of us are so used to spending 50, 60, or even 70 per cent of our incomes on rent that we no longer see that housing is in crisis. Instead it's become the new normal." - This week's op ed from Anglicare Australia's Kasy Chambers, on our Rental Affordability Snapshot. Find out more www.anglicare-ras.com #RentalSnapshot2020

07.01.2022 The old rate of JobSeeker was too low. Last year, 2 in 3 of our clients were out of work. They were forced to come to us to get help to buy food, pay bills, and make the rent because they jut didn't have enough to get by. With so many more people now out of work, cutting JobSeeker will create a national crisis.... It's time to #RaisetheRate for good.

06.01.2022 Today marks the start of National Reconciliation Week. It's a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories and find ways to contribute to reconciliation. It's also a time to reflect and take responsibility for the past. For us, that means being honest about the role the Anglican Church played in colonising Australia - including removing children from their families and isolating them from their culture. This is a time for us to reflect, take responsibility, an...d be allies for change. That's why Anglicare Australia is part of the effort to change Australia's child protection and justice systems - an effort that's now more important than ever. We hope everyone will find a way to be part of #NationalReconciliationWeek as we continue to walk towards reconciliation #NRW2020 #InThisTogether2020

02.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS: Our latest research, out today, shows that a JobSeeker cut would be a disaster for hundreds of thousands of Australians. 0% of rentals will be affordable if the payment is halved. That's 13 rentals out of 77,000 across the entire country. That's not good enough. It's time to raise the rate for good.
