The number of homeless people in Australia continues to rise due to the pressure of rising rental costs.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics [ABS], there are more than 122,000 people in the country experiencing homelessness.
The latest report also shows a 23 per cent year-on-year increase in the number of homeless people in the City of Sydney alone.
For thousands of people forced to live on the streets, the next few months will face additional hardship in the form of the imminent El Nino weather phenomenon.
