One photo of a warehouse has highlighted the devastating scale of a worsening “silent crisis” gripping Australia.
Thousands of Aussies are only barely scraping by every day and have, more than ever, become reliant on charity providers like Good360.
“We thought we were busy in Covid, we just blew out in terms of the support we had to provide, but it’s twice as much now in the cost of living crisis,” she said. In the eight years since Good360 had been in operation, “more Australians have become vulnerable”, Ms Covington revealed. One of the most prominent gaps that Good360 was working to bridge was the “digital divide”, which was particularly heightened during the pandemic when the world became reliant on smart devices.
“If you imagine the number of people who can’t afford to put food on the table, of course they can’t afford a computer or the cost of data.” “In the last 12 months with the cost of living we’ve seen a huge increase. Our food hampers have doubled. There’s a lot more people looking for assistance,” Ms Valensisi said.
