New reports
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).
