According to a report by the Australian Institute of Health and
Welfare, homeless families looking for accommodation are
being turned away from shelters because of a shortage of beds.
The report found that up to 80% of new applications for
temporary housing by couples who have children are unable to
be met on a daily basis. According to the 2006 Census, 12,133
children under 12 were homeless on census night.
