Ending Loneliness Together in Australia is the first white-paper to highlight the growing problem of loneliness in Australia and its significant impact on the social, health, and economic wellbeing of the Australian community.
This paper brings together the latest research and data on the prevalence of loneliness. It identifies communities that are especially vulnerable to loneliness, and outlines the policy, practice, and process pathways that can be modified and adapted to combat loneliness effectively.
The impact of loneliness is broad and deep; it cuts across all sectors of our society. Consequently, this paper throws the spotlight of attention on a subset of priority areas in which loneliness is a challenge.
