Kirra lives at home with her grandmother Nell (67 years old), mother Merri (42 years old), and her 2 sisters, Jedda (4 years old) and Bindi (3 years old). Merri experiences depression and has been unemployed for 2 years. Merri drinks alcohol and spends most of the household money on this. On some days she is not able to get out of bed. Nell recently experienced a stroke and is unable to move around without assistance.

Kirra often looks after her 2 sisters and does not regularly attend school. She experiences anxiety and has low self-esteem. Some of the girls at school make fun of her because she never has any lunch, and her clothes are dirty. Kirra has poor literacy skills and has no close friends.
