High Rents Causing Food Insecurity

A report from Foodbank Australia says high rents are causing increased food insecurity across the country.

The 2026 Foodbank Hunger Report shows one in three households experienced food insecurity this year. Of those households experiencing food insecurity, 92% identified high housing costs as a key concern.

The report also found 51% of renters experienced some form of food insecurity compared to 12% of homeowners.

Isla Tomlinson chats with Rachel Siewert, Deputy CEO of WACOSS, the peak nonprofit body for the community services sector in Western Australia.
