Thousands of disadvantaged students across the Australian state of Victoria have received a helping hand over the holidays with free meals sent out to those in need, amid the cost of living crisis.

Nearly 6000 food packs have been delivered to families over the summer break, while about 28 million free, healthy meals have been provided to students in 1000 Victorian schools, as part of the state government’s School Breakfast Clubs program.
