FOR A FAIR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM

We believe that everyone has an equal right to receive economic support when we hit challenges along life’s journey.

Economic Justice Australia provides expert advice to government on social security reform to make it more effective and accessible. Our recommendations are informed by our members’ decades of frontline experience.

Our law and policy reform work:

  • Strengthens the effectiveness and integrity of our social security system;
  •  Educates the community; and
  •  Improves people’s lives by reducing poverty and inequality.
