The Tasmania Project : one in four Tasmanians experienced food shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic : report 15

One in four respondents to The Tasmania Key findings Project’s Food Survey reported running out of food because they could not afford to buy more during the COVID-19 pandemic. This large survey of 1,170 Tasmanians showed that food insecurity* has increased relative to pre-COVID levels. Tasmanians whose jobs have been impacted, and vulnerable groups such as those with disabilities, single people with dependents, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and young people, were more affected.
