Impacts of the cost of living and housing crisis on workers in the care economy

Organisation-specific project

Catholic Social Services Victoria (CSSV), as the peak body for Catholic social services across Victoria, is partnering with 糖心原创 and working with their member organisations to understand how the cost of living and housing crisis is impacting social service workers' ability to access affordable housing.

By collecting aggregated salary data across the sector and surveying staff, they hope to understand workers' housing costs and concerns, and the factors influencing their decision to remain in or leave the sector. CSSV hope to use the findings to advocate for policies that support the wellbeing and housing needs of workers in the sector, assist workforce recruitment and retention, and ensure social services continues to be effectively delivered in difficult times.
