The Australian government has extended support for a trial program helping low-income families obtain vehicles following a surge in demand.

According to the Department of Social Services, the No Interest Loans Scheme for Vehicles program delivered by charity Good Shepherd Australia will receive $500,000 (US$334,000) in extra federal funding to support vulnerable families until June 30, 2024.
