Women’s representation in skilled trades sits at just 3 per cent, indicating a vast, underutilised resource that could play a pivotal role.

Two thirds of Australians are experiencing housing stress amid the ‘brutal reality’ of the country’s ongoing housing crisis.

Small Business Minister Julie Collins says the housing and homelessness portfolios complement the needs of today’s small business sector.

Dr Adele Murdolo from the Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health in Melbourne is calling for her government to prioritise migrant women’s voices.

Victims of domestic violence who are occupants, rather than tenants, need some protection too so their choice is not to endure violence or become homeless.

Domestic violence is deadly. Twenty four Australian women have been killed violently in the first five months of 2018: research by the Counting Dead Women Australia researchers of Destroy The Joint indicates that at least two thirds of those were killed by a former or current partner.
