In this episode, we look at how staying housed can hinge on two systems many women are forced to rely on: Centrelink and child support.

When payments are late, inconsistent or simply not enough, the impact is immediate. It can be the difference between covering the rent and falling behind. And for women who work hard to earn a little more, support often disappears overnight, leaving them just above the breadline with no margin for error. One illness, one redundancy or one crisis can be all it takes.

This conversation is about what it takes to keep a roof overhead when the safety net feels more like quicksand. We look at where the systems fall short, what needs to change, and the courage, community and hope that keep women moving forward anyway.
