Financial counselling

Do you have debt problems and want options to deal with these?

Do you have challenges meeting your financial commitments?

Are spending more than you earn?

Do you need help to negotiate with creditors?

Are you considering bankruptcy?

Please call 9220 1255 on Mondays at 8:30am to make an appointment.

We also accept referrals from other organisations.

Our accredited counsellors are here to help when you’re experiencing financial difficulty. They’ll work with you to understand your problems, discuss your options and support you to find a solution.

Book an appointment

Our counsellors can act on your behalf and negotiate with your creditors – like banks and utility companies – to arrange payment plans and hardship arrangements.

Call 9220 1255 on Mondays at 8:30am to make an appointment for counselling a week in advance.

Our Financial Counselling teams are located in Perth, Fremantle, Scarborough, Yanchep and Merriwa (Merriwa to be replaced with Butler and Carramar locations from Monday, 18 March 2024).

Our counsellors offer face-to-face, phone or video appointment slots at 9.00am, 11.00am or 1.30pm from Monday to Friday.

If you can’t make it to your appointment, please call us on 92201255 as soon as possible so that we can make sure the appointment is filled. 

After-hours appointments

  • Bank statements
  • Letters about your Centrelink payments, debts, bills or fines
  • Letters about your tax, rent, assets and other money you receive or pay
  • It is a good idea to being someone who knows about your money, so feel free to bring a friend or family member.
