description An estimated one-third of Australian households experienced food insecurity between 2022-2024. Through three studies, this thesis explores the experiences and perspectives of food relief users and volunteers regarding food insecurity, food relief, stigma, and financial well-being.

Recommendations for anti-stigma strategies, behaviour-change considerations, and social transformation are explored throughout.
