The research was undertaken last June and September by Drummond Street’s Centre for Family Research and Evaluation in partnership with The Gender And Disaster Pod.

It revealed young LGBTIQ+ and gender diverse Australians were particularly vulnerable, with some reporting having to move back into their family homes as a result of financial struggles.
