Nearly one million Australian children could live in poverty by 2025 due to rising rents and stagnant support.
Nearly one million Australian children are projected to live in poverty by 2025, with 950,000—15.6% of all children—affected, a 33% rise over four years.
Soaring rents, especially in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane where unit prices jumped 34% to 41% from 2021 to 2023, are a key driver, worsened by stagnant income support and cost-of-living pressures.
Experts warn the number could soon exceed one million without urgent policy action.
Advocacy group End Child Poverty is calling for a broader, child-centred definition of poverty that includes housing, education, health, and social inclusion, stressing that without a national consensus on measurement, effective interventions remain impossible.
