Getting Help
Financial Counselling
If you are in financial difficulty, the best place to start is with a financial counsellor. Financial counsellors help you manage debt, plan for the future, and let you talk about money problems, big or small, in a safe environment.
Financial counsellors are government funded. You'll never pay to see a financial counsellor. Financial counsellors help with debt, money management and goal setting. They can't sell/advise on any products or investing.
Financial counsellors are LGBTQIA++ friendly, mob friendly and welcome any and all cultural backgrounds.
You can call the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007, or chat online at ndh.org.au
