To identify the feed-back of clients, over the past 18 months of my involvement, to the St Vincent de Paul (SVdP) welfare conferences and the Vinnies stores of our region, regarding the personal impacts of the Australian Housing Crisis.

[...] Also, the switching off of the Safety Net on the 31st December and the renewal of the copayments as of 1st January each year has created a cash flow impact. [...] The economy of certain vehicles, the carbon discharge and the maintenance of this vehicle often exceeds the various road tolls paid by metropolitan residents.
