*Some of the Income Source subsets including; Youth Allowance, Sickness Allowance and or Other (Superannuation, redundancy,
etc) and Family Allowance should be viewed with caution as they are statistically very small.
^ 4 survey respondents who indicated they have an income source in Question 10, did not specify their main source of income in
Question 12. 1 survey respondent indicated that they have no income in Question 10 and then indicated that they collect SRSS
in Question 12. 2 survey respondents indicated they did not have an income source in Question 10 and then stated that their
main income source was NSA in Question 12. These three responses have been excluded from the total value in the table above.
The majority of income sources were highly gendered, reflecting a significantly greater female representation. Some of the main
income sources for females include: Parenting Payment Single (100%), Carer Allowance (92.3%), Newstart Allowance (68.8%) and
Disability Support Pension (62.7%).
