Join us for the Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA) forum on Living below the poverty line.
Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and shelter. It’s so much more as families and children struggle to meet basic needs and access to healthcare, education and safety. Our speakers will present around issues of financial inclusion, food insecurity, service organisation perspective and hear from the Anti-Poverty Network SA and their campaign work around welfare, social security, housing and lived experience.
