Recipient story
Single Father requiring food and fuel support after major operation and unable to work whilst recovering
GIVIT
First Nations Support
Community member (CM) is a single father with two son's who is living in a private rental property. CM has been off from work for almost 4 months due to having a full knee reconstruction and experiencing a workplace accident. CM was working in construction prior to the surgery and was earning almost $3000 a week. CM is now receiving Jobseeker payments which is roughly $890 a fortnight. CM's rent alone is $580 a week. CM is in the process of a workers compensation claim, however understandably this process takes time and is likely not going to be sorted before CM returns to work. CM has been able to keep on top of bills including rent, car repayments and everyday costs thanks to his savings, however this has quickly dwindled down and CM is struggling to make ends meet. CM hopes to return to work within the coming month, however in the mean time is struggling with everyday cost of living as a result of a significant change to income.
