FED:Demand for community services outpace funding
A survey just out shows demand for community social services post-GFC continues to
outstrip funding increases.
The Australian Community Sector Survey shows one in 20 people - around 345 thousand
- were turned away from the 745 community welfare agencies in the past year.
That's up nearly 20 per cent on the previous year.
Australian Council of Social Services chief executive CASSANDRA GOLDIE says the growing
need for help shows the benefits of the economic recovery aren't being spread around.
