SUMMARY:Release of NCOSS report Aftershock: Addressing the Economic and Social Costs of the Pandemic and Natural Disasters\, Report Four - Child Wellbeing and Development
DESCRIPTION:As NSW recovered from the 2019-20 Summer Bushfires and the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Australia in February 2020\, there was no indication of the upheaval and sacrifices that lay ahead. \nThis report series\, Aftershock: Addressing the Economic and Social Costs of the Pandemic and Natural Disasters\, explores the impacts of the pandemic and natural disasters across four key domains of wellbeing – mental health\, domestic violence\, housing security and child welfare and development – drawing together research and latest data to highlight the devastating impacts of the past two and half years. The aim is to document the huge personal and economic impacts which\, if left unaddressed\, will leave a long-term mark on the economy of NSW and its people. \nNCOSS will release its fourth in the series to mark Anti-Poverty Week.  Previous reports focused on mental health\, domestic and family violence and housing and can be found here.

SUMMARY:Putting Regional Needs on the Map
DESCRIPTION:NCOSS invites you to join us on Thursday\, 24 October for a breakfast event where you will hear directly from a broad coalition of voices to discuss the common concern of economic disadvantage across NSW. \nThis is an invaluable opportunity to hear from guest speaker\, journalist and author of ‘Rusted Off – Why Country Australia is Fed Up’ Gabrielle Chan. With over 30 years of journalism experience\, Gabrielle has lived in both regional and metro NSW\, experiencing firsthand the cultural and economic divide. \nWe will also be launching the ‘Mapping Economic Disadvantage in NSW’ report undertaken by NCOSS in conjunction with the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM). \nThe ‘Putting Regional Needs on the Map’ event is a rare occasion that brings together individuals from regional and metro social service organisations\, academics\, individuals\, corporate organisations and local and state government representatives. This will allow attendees the chance to build connections that may otherwise be hindered by distance and build lasting relationships to build the city/ country divide. \nCheck out the full list of panelists here.

SUMMARY:Poverty In The Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Very few people or groups are absent from the affects of poverty or the near poverty experience. \nWorkers\, Women\, disabled\, students\, unemployed\, pensioners\, injured workers\, families\, single parents… We all know someone worse off. \nThe working poor\, the need to ‘raise the rate’\, cost of living pressures\, the consequences of privatisation of our services\, medicare co-payments and the stripping of public education funding including TAFE and University. These are all issues that need fixing or we will only see more and more people continue to fall below the poverty line. \nBy focusing on our similarities and not our differences will we be able to tackle the inequities in our system that assures poverty continues. \nUnity across our communities is essential in identifying and highlighting our common experience\, and Unity in our efforts to combat the root cause’s and providing the solutions so that all in our communities can plan for a dignified and prosperous future. \nTogether\, We are Stronger!
