South Australia is consistently recognised as an affordable place to live in comparison to other states. But even with careful budgeting, many households can face difficulties making ends meet. Rising costs such as power, water and the increase to the Emergency Services Levy, which are particular to the state, combined with stagnant salaries and Centrelink payments have meant many families are struggling and finding it even harder to make ends. The changing face on industry in South Australia shows some opportunity but creates issues for others.
The Affordable SA facebook page responds to current issues and shout outs for organisations represented on the service that are free or at low cost or can help with the cost of living. No service pays to be listed and the entries are not just limited to large organisations but includes the smaller community groups and not for profit programs that are rarely listed.
If you know of a group or such a service and do not find it listed on the App please let us know via the contacts or enquiries pages.
