Anti-Poverty Week raises awareness of this critical, cross-cutting issue. Many organisations are holding events: go along if you can!

Link here for our portfolio of work in the area of poverty: Poverty is one of the most pervasive causes of social disadvantage. Poverty precludes people from having an acceptable standing of living, and denies them access to essential goods and activities. An estimated 470,000 people or 10.6% of Queenslanders are living below the poverty line.
