Financial Counselling Services
We provide free, independent and confidential financial counselling to anyone having difficulties managing money. We have offices in Artarmon, Brookvale and Ryde. This service is funded by the NSW Office of Fair Trading and the Commonwealth Department of Social Services.
Our Financial Counsellors can help you prepare a budget or money plan, manage your debts, set realistic financial goals, understand your rights, and if needed negotiate with creditors.
It’s always best to seek help early before your problems get out of control. Financial counselling can help you relieve stress, resolve immediate problems and plan for the future. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you are experiencing financial difficulties – it’s smart to ask for help and this is our area of expertise.
Our door is always open and this service is available to everyone.
