FINANCIAL COUNSELLORS provide free and confidential assistance to people who are having problems dealing with their bills.

They help YOU to take CONTROL of YOUR finances!

What is a Financial Counsellor?

We work with people who are having money problems, in particular, with debts. Our staff are Financial Counsellors who are accredited by FCAN (Financial Counsellors Association of NSW) and receive continuous training and supervision.

What do we do?

We act independently and without conflict of interest as we do not receive any funding or monatary payments from banks, credit unions etc. If you are having problems with debt we can help you look at the choices and actions available to you. We can also help you understand what will happen once you've made your decision.
