The main aims of Anti-Poverty Week are to:

  • Strengthen public understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and hardship around the world and in Australia;
  • Encourage research, discussion and action to address these problems, including action by individuals, communities, organisations and governments.

Everyone who is interested in helping to reduce poverty and hardship here or overseas is encouraged to organise their own activities during the Week or join in some being organised by other people.

This website provides a place where people who are interested in the Week can:

  • find out about activities being held during the Week.
  • find out ways of joining in the Week
  • access resources about issues of poverty and hardship
  • get information about useful contacts.
