Share the Pie is a social awareness campaign about the low levels of the JobSeeker payment for people who are unemployed.
The share the pie campaign raises awareness of the low rate of the job seeker payment: a single person on the Job Seeker Payment is getting less than 40% of the minimum wage in Australia.
The campaign was promoted through a series of posters in Canberra and Melbourne and via a social media campaign. We received stories via an open call for people on the JobSeeker payment and shared their real experiences in an effort to change the narrative around those living on Jobseeker, formerly known as Newstart. The campaign was name-checked in The Guardian, The Conversation, The Daily Review, University of Melbourne's Pursuit, and The Mandarin.
Share The Pie is an initiative of the Brotherhood of St Laurence and a project team from the Committee for Melbourne's Future Focus Group.
