Difficulty making ends meet

Many people on low incomes, including Centrelink payments, find it very difficult to make ends meet. If you or your family is in crisis, many of our centres can provide emergency relief with food, food vouchers, travel cards, petrol vouchers, assistance with bills, rent and medicines.

In addition, our centres can provide information about other supports, advocacy to arrange payment plans and other outcomes, budgeting assistance and financial and personal counselling. (What is Financial Counselling: financial counsellors are qualified professionals who provide information, advice and advocacy to people in financial difficulty). For more information on these supports search for your closest centre on the orange button below.
