Research & Reports
Here at Foodbank, we are the definitive source of information on food insecurity and food relief services in Australia. We conduct several surveys annually, including surveys of individuals experiencing food insecurity, charities providing food relief, and organisations donating food and groceries. We also maintain comprehensive statistics on our operations, including detailed data on the food and groceries we collect and distribute. We publish several reports throughout the year, all of which can be accessed here.

Food Insecurity and the Risk of Poor Health
Individuals experiencing food insecurity are more likely to have poor dietary habits.
A poor diet often consists of limited variety or lower-quality foods. This can mean not consuming enough fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, dairy products, or whole grains. It may also involve consuming an excess of processed foods high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and salt.
