Emergency Support

People experiencing financial crisis are able to access the following supports:

• Emergency Financial Assistance
• Secondhand Clothing Assistance
• Secondhand Furniture and Clothing Assistance
• Budget Counselling

All assistance is subject to an assessment of eligibility.  To undergo an assessment please call (08) 8130 6188

Assistance can be sought by telephoning our office or attending in person during our office hours. We aim to assist people on the day they present for services other than Budget Counselling. These services require an appointment that is usually within 5 working days.

EMERGENCY is defined as:
"An event or situation that is beyond the control of the individual or family to anticipate or prepare for"

Where a person presents for financial assistance and is not eligible, we provide information on other options as well as advocacy and referral support.

Budget counselling support will be required before financial assistance is offered if the request is not related to an identified emergency.
