Economic Social Impact Survey 2015

This is the fourth consecutive report by The Salvation Army exploring the levels of deprivation and disadvantage experienced by those who access Emergency Relief (ER) services.

The Salvation Army would like to thank the many people across Australia who participated in the survey.  This report is the story of your day to day struggle to make ends meet.  We could not tell these stories without your support.

The Salvation Army also extends thanks to all support staff at The Salvation Army services who worked hard to promote and ensure the success of this survey.

This survey is a joint initiative of The Salvation Army Australia Southern Territory and the Australia Eastern Territory.  This survey was solely funded by The Salvation Army.
