Prevalence Interpretation

The numbers paint a stark, costly, and deeply unfair picture: while a slight overall dip offers a flicker of hope, the crisis is intensifying—evidenced by soaring demand for services, a shockingly disproportionate impact on Indigenous Australians and children, and the sobering fact that our most vulnerable are increasingly likely to be women sleeping rough or crammed into severely crowded homes.
