The Transit Impact Report gives a simple snapshot of how many people we’re supporting, the types of households we see and how local needs are changing. It helps us understand our community and shows the difference your support makes.

The City of Casey is one of Australia’s fastest-growing areas, home to more than 405,000 people from over 150 cultural backgrounds. But the 2024 City of Casey Household Survey showed that food insecurity is a major issue: 

• 40% of residents had struggled to access enough food in the past year.

• 11% had run out of food and couldn’t afford more

• 22% had to skip meals or reduce meal sizes 

• 23% couldn’t afford fresh produce

• 30% worried they would run out of money for food

This is not a short-term problem for many households. It’s an ongoing challenge affecting wellbeing, stability and the ability to thrive.

This data shows how many new households are coming to Transit for the first time. It helps us track emerging needs, understand who is seeking support and identify trends in our community. By monitoring new registrations, we can plan better, respond earlier and ensure we have enough food and resources for the growing number of families needing help.

This snapshot brings together key data about the households we support. It includes our total registered guests, the number of people experiencing homelessness or couch surfing and a breakdown of registrations by household type and suburb. This big-picture view helps us understand who is coming to Transit and how needs vary across our community.

This section explores how guests engage with Transit over time. It shows how many people receive meals and groceries each week, how often households rely on grocery support and how many no longer need this help. These trends help us understand where support is making a lasting difference.

This section highlights the incredible value our volunteers bring to Transit. It includes the estimated financial value of their contribution, the number of new volunteers joining our team, and our total active volunteer base. Together, this data shows how vital our volunteers are in keeping Transit running and how their generosity strengthens our entire community.
