Advocating for financial freedom
Our financial counsellor supports women recovering from DV, so that they are better able to overcome debt, manage a budget and work toward financial goals. In the face of increasing mortgage stress and cost of living pressures, this service is particularly crucial and we thank the Financial Counselling Foundation for fully funding this program since inception and for committing to a further two years of funding.
Our Financial Counsellor can help women who are affected by DFV to deal with money problems. Our commitment to supporting the community has yielded positive outcomes and transformative experiences for those we have served.
