Financial Counselling

Are you disadvantaged or on a low income and would like to manage your financial affairs better? Financial Counsellors are available to assist you.

The Financial Counselling service helps people to effectively manage their own financial affairs. It also lobbies for change to government regulations, financial institution policy and community attitudes to improve the ability for individuals to manage their finances.
Financial Counsellors are qualified in the Diploma of Community Services (Financial Counselling) and are members of the SA Financial Counsellors Association Inc.
They can assist with a range of issues including:

• Eligibility for concessions
• Loss of income
• Living on a pension or benefit
• Pending disconnections
• Negotiations with creditors
• Debt recovery
• Understanding contractors
• Buying on credit
• Consumer rights
• Short and long term budgeting
• Bankruptcy information

The service also hosts the Senior Resource Worker for financial counselling in South Australia and supports TAFE with the delivery of the Diploma of Community Services (Financial Counselling).
