A homeless mum has been left sleeping on a deflated airbed in a tent with her husband and two children.
Sushannah says they are struggling to find a house in Bundaberg, Queensland, due to a rental crisis.
Housing prices in Australia have been soaring in recent years, leaving renters unable to keep up with prices while fewer properties are available.
The mum-of-two has been sharing her family’s housing predicament on her TikTok account.
Sushannah lives with her partner Tristan and their kids, Delila, two, and six-month-old Luna.
One video showing their daily struggles has reached more than a million views.

“Another day in the life of a homeless family living in Australia, rental crisis edition,” the mum says.
Baby Luna is shown sleeping on the grass.
The family then goes to fast food restaurant Hungry Jacks and opts for a few options from the penny pincher menu.
After that they go to the library, where Sushannah fills out some forms as she attempts to get accepted for public housing.
She says: “It was a lot of work, especially with these two (kids) as you can see – all Delila wanted to do was pick up books and put them in the wrong place.”

Back at the tent they eat dinner and Sushannah explains her children often wear swimsuits due to the unpredictable weather.
“Our air mattress also keeps deflating, so Tristan is going out to swap it, hopefully it doesn’t keep deflating,” she continues.
In another video, she said that the family previously moved six hours away to be closer to family and increase chances of finding work.
