Vulnerable, single and living in poverty: Women's challenges to accessing food in the Australian Capital Territory.

Implications for public health: Collaboration from all stakeholders within our food system is required to address current inequities to accessing reliable, nutritious and safe food and to reduce individual food insecurity.
