Anti Poverty Week
Financial difficulties can affect anyone
If debt is overwhelming you, you can’t pay your bills or unexpected circumstances have given you money troubles, you’re not alone. Help and hope is available.
It doesn’t take much for financial stress to rise. Maybe it’s because groceries are costing more, a new medication is required, or you’ve had to miss a few debt repayments. Or it could be a natural disaster, job loss, injury or family breakdown. Financial difficulties can affect anyone at any time. You may not be ready to handle them, but The Salvation Army is here to help guide you through.
If you’re experiencing a financial crisis, we can help you through it by providing food or vouchers for bills. And if you need support with gaining control over your money, reducing your debt or setting up a savings plan, our financial support services and counsellors are here for you.
If you are in poverty or feel like you’re getting close, don’t wait to act. It’s never too early or too late to contact The Salvation Army for support.

Anti Poverty Week
Anti-Poverty Week (16-22 October) is a national campaign, supported by a wide range of Australian charities, working to raise awareness of the financial struggles impacting many Australians.
The Salvation Army is committed to helping people who are struggling to overcome financial stress and find hope for the future. We believe that taking preventative action around money problems early can help avoid deeper poverty and related issues such as homelessness.
