Hunger in Australia


The reality of hunger in Australia
3.4 million households across Australia are facing food insecurity. This means families are reducing the quality, variety, or desirability of their food, and at worst, running out of food entirely.
Sadly, more than half of food-insecure households are enduring the most severe level of hardship. This means they are often skipping meals, reducing portion sizes or even going entire days without eating.
