Other services
Financial counselling
Financial counselling is available at the Centre. These are one-on-one, confidential, and free appointments held with a qualified financial counsellor.
Financial problems can cause stress and can have a significant impact on mental health. For some, the financial pressures of life may seem impossible to overcome, but there is help and support available.
This service can assist with exploring your financial options, managing personal and family budgeting, providing advocacy and support when dealing with creditors, as well as general information and referrals.
Legal Advice
We offer free and confidential appointments with a female solicitor who can support you with legal advice, information, and referrals.
She can provide information about topics including domestic, family, and sexual violence, tenant’s rights, welfare rights, and child support.

She can assist with accessing information, payments, and services. Appointments are confidential and private.
