Young Aboriginal Mother of a 12-month-old, who has been struggling to make ends meet over the Christmas period.
A young Aboriginal mother of a 12-month-old boy is experiencing significant financial hardship over the Christmas period. Her partner works in casual employment at a factory, which shuts down for three weeks during the holiday season. As a casual employee, he does not receive paid leave, meaning there is no income for their household during this shutdown. Additionally, after the factory reopens, he must work for two full weeks before receiving his next paycheck, further delaying their ability to recover financially.
In preparation for the shutdown, the mother took steps to ensure that their rent and energy bills were paid in advance, prioritising the stability of their housing and essential utilities. However, this has left her with limited funds to cover other necessities. As a result, she is now struggling to afford basic grocery items and nappies for her young son.
