Not being able to pay your rent doesn’t necessarily mean eviction. On this episode of The Consumer Coach we'll show you ways to negotiate staying in your home and avoid finding new accommodation and we'll bust the myths around food relief.  Some of our international students are needing to access food banks to get by while they are jobless and so far from home.  A migration expert tells us just how tough these students are doing it.

Guests:

• Leo Patterson Ross – CEO Tenants’ Union NSW
• Sarah Pennell – General Manager of Foodbank Australia
• Shannon Semenikow – Director of Education and Migration Services Australia
