New reports

Foodbank Hunger Report, 2021 (Foodbank Australia)

Did you know . . .

  • One in 6 Australians (17%) can be categorised as being severely food insecure which means they have multiple disruptions to the eating patterns and forced to reduce their food intake. These individuals and families are often forced to eat smaller meals to make the food last longer or skip meals altogether (p. 3). The most common reasons why people report experiencing food insecurity are unexpected expenses or bill shock (35%), overall low incomes (30%) and rent or mortgage repayments (30%) (p. 6).

Other reports: Food Insecurity in the Time of Covid-19 report 2020, Foodbank Rumbling Tummies report 2018

Household Income and Wealth, 2019–20 (ABS)

Did you know . . .

  • Average equivalised disposable household income was $1,124 per week ($1,034 in 2009–10).
  • Average net worth for all Australian households in 2019–20 was $1,042,000, a 19% increase when compared with 2009–10 ($878,200).
  • Three in four (75%) households had debt in 2019–20. Of these households, 30% were servicing a total debt three or more times their annualised disposable income. This is an increase of 6% from 2009–10.
