Australian 50, 100, 20, 10 and 5 dollar notes

The COVID crisis has had a massive impact on our economy. IDEAS have put together a series of articles to help you to manage your money in these challenging times.

Australia is officially in one of the biggest recessions it has ever faced with unemployment at an all-time high and many businesses closing their doors in this financial climate. As the Government has now out emergency income support like the Coronavirus Supplement and the JobKeeper and JobSeeker payments, people are going to find it harder than ever to make ends meet. 

A survey from ACOSS found that 4 in 10 people on JobSeeker have less than $14 a day, after paying their rent. As 1.6 million people in Australia face extreme hardship, we know that people with disability are over-represented in terms of living in poverty and low-income households. We are here to help. 

This series aims to point people to services and supports and to help people live within their means with cost-cutting measures during this time of financial crisis.
