Policy Papers and Submissions
One of the main roles of the National Welfare Rights Network
is to lobby for changes to Social Security laws and policies and to contribute
to broader campaigns aimed at reducing poverty, inequality and hardship in
Australia.
The NWRN lobbies all political parties to achieve these aims. The NWRN also
works in conjunction with other welfare groups to lobby for reforms to Social
Security law and its administration.
The policy papers available on this website are some of the recent papers
produced by the NWRN. The NWRN and individual member organisations have produced
discussion papers and policy papers on a range of Social Security issues. To
find out whether the NWRN or an individual Centre has produced a policy paper on
particular topic, contact the
relevant Welfare Rights organisation.
