22.01.2022 It’s no secret that people in regional Australia face extra challenges of poorer property standards, a lack of jobs opportunities and more barriers to accessing support services. Affordable and social housing solutions are needed if our country towns, coastal communities and regional cities are to remain vibrant and productive places.

21.01.2022 It’s been good to see nurses and care workers working so hard to ensure the residents are well cared for. I love chatting and playing games like bingo with the residents. It’s so rewarding to hear that they really enjoy my company and that I’m brightening their day. - Yasmin (24), AnglicareSA volunteer
