A Place to Call Home: Episode 5 - Rachel’s Story

Law for Community Workers

This is Part 5 in our podcast series exploring homelessness in Australia and the legal issues people experience when they are homeless or at risk of homelessness. During this series we will be speaking to people from different services providing support and legal advice to those experiencing homelessness and to people with lived experience of homelessness.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which this episode was made, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

In this 5th episode, Bridget from the Community Legal Education Branch speaks to Rachel, a person with lived experience of homelessness.

We wish to acknowledge and thank Rachel, David and Rebecca who all shared their experiences of homelessness with us. We also thank the Homeless Persons Legal Service, part of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre for putting us in touch with the StreetCare team.

There is useful information in this episode about how community workers can support people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
