We assist vulnerable families and young people in managing their finances effectively to avoid money issues or a future financial crisis.
Our financial counselling services are supervised by Dr Betty Weule, AM. Dr Weule is a Member of the Order of Australia “for significant service to social welfare, through the development of financial counselling services in New South Wales”. Dr Weule's career spans over 40 years and includes founding the first financial counselling service in NSW in 1976.We can help you navigate through your debt and develop your budgeting skills. For example, help is available for:
* Bills or fines you're struggling to pay
* Rent or mortgage payments you're behind in
* Difficulty managing your money
* Inability to pay your loan or credit card
* Difficulty negotiating with your creditors
The more information you can share with your Financial Counsellor, the better they will understand your situation.
Please bring any documents that you think may be important. Some of the documents you could bring with you for your appointment include:
1) Proof of income (e.g. a recent Centrelink statement or a payslip)
2) Proof of regular expenses (e.g. how much your rent or mortgage payments are, any other loan repayments or credit card debt)
3) Bills (e.g. Rates, water, power, phone, internet)
4) Legal documents that relate to money (e.g. Judgements, Bankruptcy)
Remember to bring all your financial statements - even the ones you that you feel you have under control.
The more information you provide, the more your Financial Counsellor will be able to assess your specific situation.
