flag Over one million Australians will see their welfare payments increase starting January 1, 2025, to keep up with inflation. flag However, the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) argues that these annual adjustments are insufficient to cover rising costs like rent and food. flag ACOSS CEO Cassandra Goldie calls for more frequent indexing and higher rates to help lift people out of poverty. flag Despite the increases, which include a 3.8% rise and an extra $5.80 per fortnight for carers, many Australians remain below the poverty line.
