Today, 14th July, is the National Day of Action in support of #raisetherate, where hundreds of communities will join together to call on the Australian Government to Raise the Rate For Good. The Statement of Support developed by ACOSS to permanently raise the rate of JobSeeker (previously Newstart), Youth Allowance and related payments is now available online. Join PeakCare in signing the statement to support this important change to basic income in Australia. As we confront what will be a long-term economic downturn, we cannot turn our backs on those who are at risk of being left behind.
