Homelessness is rising among First Nations families with children in Australia. Between 2022–23 and 2023–24, the number of such families accessing homelessness services increased by 5 per cent, with Indigenous families making up 31 per cent of that rise. In Victoria, First Nations children are 21.7 times more likely to be in out-of-home care. This podcast explores why current government efforts are falling short and why First Nations-led solutions are crucial to addressing the crisis.
