1 in 6 children live below the poverty line in Australia and in Tasmania.
As the costs of daily living continues to skyrocket, many families can’t make their income stretch far enough to cover all their needs. Forced into making impossible choices about which essentials to prioritise, sometimes there’s simply no money left to buy groceries – sending hungry children to school with an empty lunchbox.

Help us put an end to this injustice by visiting our activation in Elizabeth Street Mall, featuring a display of lunchboxes representing Australia’s child poverty statistic.

Enjoy a free cuppa from Loui’s Van, biscuits, slice and a chat with some of the state’s leading charities, service providers and advocacy agencies to find out how we can all make a difference and support nourished futures for all Tasmanian children.
