Advocates say Youth Allowance Failing Regional Students

A Country Education Foundation survey has found more than half of rural and regional students are deemed ineligible for the support due to accessibility issues.

Rural reporter Brady Evans spoke to CEF Engagement and Impact Manager Nicole Wright to see how these students are coping financially and how it’s affecting their wellbeing.
