The Families on the Fringe report

The Families on the Fringe report was a co-operative research project between The University of Queensland, Mission Australia, and The Benevolent Society – and funded by the Australian Research Council. The study interviewed families with young children who had recently moved from metro centres to the areas of Wyong (Central Coast, NSW), Camden (south-western Sydney metro fringe), Gladstone (coastal Queensland) and Oakey (an inland rural town west of Brisbane) and reports on the reasons for their move and the issues faced.
