Submission to the inquiry into the extent and nature of poverty in Australia

This submission is directed to the inquiry into the extent and nature of poverty in Australia. It focuses on the specific challenges faced by young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, particularly concerning employment, education, housing, and income support. The submission highlights how socio-economic barriers and eligibility for services exacerbate poverty and financial hardship for these young people. MYAN provides recommendations for targeted socio-economic and policy responses to address these issues and ensure equitable opportunities for all young people in Australia.
