The Recidivist Young Offenders Bill risks doing more harm than good. Punitive bail laws & mandatory detention won’t reduce youth offending — they’ll entrench trauma & disadvantage. We’re calling for therapeutic, community-led solutions. tinyurl.com/yprzsahu
In 2022–23, 1 in 3 women seeking help were left in insecure housing — couch surfing, sleeping in cars or in short-term accommodation. Homelessness services urgently need funding. sacoss.org.au/homelessness-w…
Homelessness funding has dropped 11.2% in real terms since COVID - from $102.6m down to $92.3m. That’s a 15.4% cut per client. More on our webpage: sacoss.org.au/homelessness-w…

Today EJA and @welfare_rights had a productive meeting with @tanya_plibersek to discuss various issues within social security, and the urgent need for legislative reform. Sincere thanks to the Minister for her time and thoughtful engagement. We look forward to working together.
We’re delighted to announce Dr Catherine Earl as our new Chief Executive Officer. She returns to SACOSS with 15+ years' experience in advocacy, research & social policy. A warm welcome to Catherine, and heartfelt thanks to outgoing CEO Ross Womersley: tinyurl.com/42t3bd96
Nearly 7 in 10 renters fear rent hikes if they request repairs. In SA, too many renters live in insecure and unaffordable housing. We need rent caps, stronger protections & social housing investment. @ACOSS media release: tinyurl.com/yt5tu8rv #RentalCrisis #RightToAHome
Renters who are unemployed have more rental unaffordability, insecurity and quality – being more likely to live in homes needing repairs, worried that requesting repairs might mean a rent rise, and struggle to afford a rent rise - than other renters. bit.ly/3G5kMMM
Given the ongoing criticism SACOSS has made about the effect of the electricity Default Market Offer (DMO) on power prices in SA, we join @ACOSS in welcoming the announcement from the federal government for a review of the DMO. tinyurl.com/5n7wrvcz
Are you prepared for the legal risks disasters can bring? Our upcoming forum will equip community service leaders with critical knowledge about liability, safety, and justice in emergencies. 17 July | Keswick + online: tinyurl.com/2znk6xca #CommunitySector #LegalRights

We launched our #SABudget2025 analysis today with Treasurer Stephen Mullighan at the SACOSS Budget Breakfast. Some wins for education & housing but not enough support for low-income SA households - a law & order budget that misses the mark on equity: tinyurl.com/2twzcry4
Reda SACOSS' state budget response in our budget snapshot - sacoss.org.au/sacoss-2025-26… and media release - sacoss.org.au/sacoss-2025-26…
The SA Budget must be more than a ‘holding pattern’ before the election. SACOSS is calling for fair funding for community services, more public housing & real help with energy for low-income households. tinyurl.com/ybhewc79 #SABudget #SACOSS #HousingCrisis #Inequality
