We are very excited to announce the next stage of the QCOSS Movement for change – a series of Changing Lives, Changing Communities events in 13 locations across Queensland. These events will build on the knowledge gained and actions developed on the second day of the QCOSS State Conference - Movement for change that was held in Brisbane in May.
The federal House of Representatives select committee on so-called ‘intergenerational welfare dependence’ has released its final report. The committee did an excellent job reflecting evidence provided in submissions and public hearings, given the poor framing of inquiry’s terms of reference.
QCOSS attended the Financial Counsellor’s Association of Queensland (FCAQ) 2019 Conference in early March. At the conference, QCOSS' Senior Manager for Policy, Advocacy and Capacity Laura Barnes spoke about QCOSS’ Living Affordability in Queensland report, which shows the challenges people face in making ends meet, especially for those reliant on Newstart and Youth allowances and minimum wages. The session included a workshop in which participants told their stories of supporting financial inclusion.
