SUMMARY:Is Australia The Lucky Country for all?
DESCRIPTION:1 in 6 Australian children aged 10 to 14 years\, that’s 774\,00 children\, lived in poverty in 2017-18. The percentage of children living in poverty is higher than the percentage of any other age group\, including those aged 65 years and over. For these children\, Australia is far from being a lucky country. \nDuring this Anti-Poverty Week\, we are calling on all our Parliamentarians to commit to halving child poverty by 2030. This year is the 20th anniversary of Australia’s Anti-Poverty Week. Join us in acknowledging this milestone by attending our panel discussion\, ‘Is Australia the lucky country for all?”. \nOur Panellists: \nCommissioner Natalie Lewis\nA Gamilaraay woman and Queensland Family and Child Commissioner. Natalie is fiercely committed to progressing a transformational reform agenda to ensure that children’s rights and entitlements are upheld in Queensland and nationally. Can freedom from poverty be regarded as one of these rights? \nDr Sharon Bessell\nSharon Bessell is a Professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University and director of the Children’s Policy Centre\, and of the Poverty and Inequality Research Centre. She is recognised internationally as a leader in rights-based\, child-centred research methodologies\, and is currently leading research on the development of a child-centred framework for assessing multidimensional child poverty. \nCath Bartolo AM\nFor around two decades\, Cath Bartolo AM has been the Chief Executive Officer of Youth and Family Services\, a not-for-profit community organisation based in Logan delivering a range of services including housing\, domestic and family violence support\, children\, youth and family services\, and legal and financial counselling. There are few who so closely understand the impact of poverty on children\, young people and their families. \nFacilitator\nPaul Barclay\nA Walkley Award winner\, Paul Barclay is a regular host and presenter on ABC Radio National’s Big Ideas\, a program he has hosted since at least 2003. We are delighted that Paul will be facilitating the panel and look forward to hearing the discussion broadcast on Radio National. \nTo register: Click here to register via Eventbrite \nThank you\nCo-Chairs of the Queensland Anti-Poverty Week Committee (NAPCAN’s Helen Fogarty and PeakCare’s Lindsay Wegener) and all members of the Committee sincerely thank:\nOur venue host: The Hon. Jonty Bush\, Member for Cooper\, Qld Parliament\nOur event sponsor: HESTA

SUMMARY:What Informal Kinship Carers Need\, What They Really Really Need: Kinship Care Forum IV
DESCRIPTION:Around 50\,000 children and young people in Queensland live in informal kinship care with grandparents\, aunts\, uncles\, brothers\, sisters\, cousins\, and other relatives to keep them out of the child protection system. \nInformal Kinship Carers make significant sacrifices including postponing retirement\, withdrawing their superannuation\, changing careers\, disrupting relationships and being forced into poverty. \nThese carers fall between the cracks of Federal and State Governments and receive little or no financial or other support to for children in their care.\nOn Wednesday 20 October\, PeakCare hosts the fourth Kinship Care Forum and asks the question – What Informal Kinship Carers need\, what they really\, really need? \nIt happens during Anti-Poverty Week with local\, national\, and international speakers including from the UK and NZ to shine a light on the needs of carers and children.

SUMMARY:Raise the Rate Forum
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speakers:\n+ Hon Jackie Trad MP\, Deputy Premier\, Treasurer and Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships\n+ Dr Cassandra Goldie\, CEO Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) \nEvent Details:\nFree event\n10.30am – 12.30pm\nFriday 18 October 2019\nKurilpa Hall\, 174 Boundary Street\, West End Q 4101 \nPlease book your seat via eventbrite: http://raisetherateforum.eventbrite.com.au/ \n… \nIn a wealthy country like Australia\, we should all have enough to put a roof over our head and food on the table. However\, more than three quarters of a million people in communities across Australia live on unemployment and student payments that do not cover the cost of housing\, food\, transport and healthcare.1 \nWhat the Federal Government needs to do:\n• Increase the single rates of Newstart\, Youth Allowance and related payments by $75 per week to reduce poverty and inequality in Australia.\n• Index payments to wages as well as CPI\nto ensure they maintain pace with community living standards.\n• Increase Commonwealth Rent Assistance by 30% or $20 per week for a single person on Newstart. \nThese measures would help people afford food and housing\, reduce homelessness\, destitution and the need for charity. They would improve people’s wellbeing\, security and health. \nRaising the rate would benefit entire communities.

SUMMARY:Education as a Pathway out of Poverty
DESCRIPTION:The Life Course Centre invites you to attend our Anti-Poverty Week 2019 event which will focus on Education as a Pathway out of Poverty. We are delighted to be hosting two international researchers on education and equality – Professor Rebekah Levine Coley of the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College\, and Dr Matteo Sandi of the London School of Economics and Political Science. \nOur speakers will explore the human development and economics of education\, and its role in addressing social and economic disadvantage and poverty. Their presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and the opportunity for audience questions. \nWe hope you can join us for this event\, which coincides with the United Nations Day for the Eradication of Poverty on Thursday 17 October. This is our key event for Anti-Poverty Week 2019\, running from 13-19 October\, and we are proud to be a sponsor of the week and its efforts to increase awareness and understanding of poverty. \nIn Australia\, more than 3 million people\, or 13.2% of the population\, live below the poverty line\, including 739\,000 or 1 in 6 children growing up in poverty. Anti-Poverty Week encourages us all to acknowledge these facts\, engage in conversations\, raise awareness\, focus on positive solutions\, and take action to end poverty.
