Thrive Services

Thrive Services is a not for profit community organisation that supports children, families & others living in the Lithgow and Blue Mountains areas.

[Homelessness Australia @HomelessnessAus]

The Action Plan to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen and children is out and includes NO new housing commitments so women can escape a violent home.
And we know each year more than 7,600 women return to violent homes because they have nowhere to go.
That is not good.

Feels like there might be something missing from this "Conservative Woman" event.

[ACOSS @ACOSS]

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

Ian Hamm, Chairperson of @_FirstNations, says the Voice referendum asks a simple question — should Aboriginal people be allowed to speak? #TheDrum

[Refugee Council of Australia @OzRefugeeCounc]

BREAKING NEWS: The Australian Government has announced the end of temporary protection for refugees, bringing an end to a cruel and unnecessary policy. Read our media release about what this means for refugees in Australia and what work still remains.

[Link Wentworth @LinkWentworth]

In partnership with Womens Community Shelters, LW has housed women over 55 through our meanwhile-use projects. This cohort is the fastest growing group facing homelessness in Aus and innovative housing solutions ensure many have a home. https://t.co/efh1KDW4f7

People in NSW are encouraged to stay on alert for symptoms of gastroenteritis, with testing and hospital data showing a significant rise in cases in recent weeks across the state.

#Centrelink Crisis Payment
A woman who's just left DV and is homeless missed one call from a private number.
Soooo, her claim is REJECTED.
Most DV victims are advised NOT to accept calls from private numbers because it could be their perpetrator.
Solution? @MicaelaCronin

[Homelessness NSW @HomelessnessNSW]

To end homelessness we need social and affordable housing - great to partner with ⁦@shelternsw⁩ ⁦@CHIA_NSW⁩ ⁦@PropertyCouncil⁩ to present a way forward for NSW Government https://t.co/DYVoL1Qrdu

[David Taylor @DaveTaylorNews]

@Scutty @DrCameronMurray @HIDDENTRADER101 What narrative? It’s a statistic. It’s not good. Most commonly missed bills are electricity gas and water (10%, up from 8% in Q2)

Talk to @ACOSS or any of a number of organisations. The majority of Australians are doing fine, but a minority are really hurting

[Thrive Services @ThriveServices1]

Great to liaise with Housing and homelessness support services today in Woodcroft

[NCOSS @_NCOSS_]

Don’t ever let the Gov tell you they can’t afford to do something. They are choosing to spend the money on something else - Richard Denniss @RDNS_TAI @TheAusInstitute #NCOSSConference

[Thrive Services @ThriveServices1]

At the NCOSS conference today. Key messages about supporting our sector to learn, thrive and deliver services they actually meet needs #NCOSS2022

[Community Industry Group @CommIndGroup]

$12.50 - That's how much a single mother in Australia with two children on income support has to feed her family for one day.

If we want Australian children to grow up free from poverty, we must support those raising them.
