Australian private renters make up around one fifth of those nationwide who are living without essential items, according to a new joint study released by peak body the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS), and the University of New South Wales.
The study also found that of those Australians renting — after they pay their rent — 22 per cent are living below the poverty line, as the nation's dual housing affordability and cost of living crises continues.
For those Australians who are renting social housing, that number is more than 50 per cent, the study released exclusively to 7.30 found.
Cassandra Goldie is the CEO of ACOSS and she spoke to Sarah Ferguson about the report.
