For people in financial trouble, and for the services that help them. TEKVA is a registered Australian charity. We build our own free tools, and we take a small number of build projects for other community organisations.
Under financial pressure yourself? The tools and guides are free. Start there.
Tools that turn a bad situation into a next step: a hardship letter ready to send, a plan for the fortnight after a job ends, a clear answer on which bill matters first.
Counsellors and support workers can use the same tools to prepare cases faster. Same engine, two doors.
We don't build case management systems, directories or comparison sites. Others do that well. We build the layer between a person's situation and their next step, and we build it to be reused.
Builds run on your infrastructure, under your control. Your data never touches our systems. When we finish, you hold the keys. No lock-in, no hosting dependency, no ongoing licence.
Code we build for you that any service could use is released under an open licence. Your grant or budget builds something that outlives your project, for you and for the sector.
TEKVA is a registered charity (PBI, DGR‑1). We price to cover the work. Fixed price per scoped build, agreed before we start.
We build with financial counsellors. Our tools are shaped by their review and feedback, from TEKVA's own FCAN-registered Financial Counsellor and from reviewers across the sector.
Our tools are built privacy-first: no logins where possible, no stored personal information by default. Where AI helps us draft internally, a human decides.
TEKVA's tools provide information, not financial counselling or advice. We do not provide legal advice, tax advice or regulated financial product advice.
Every tool below is live on this site, free to use. This is the standard a build with us is held to.
We take a small number of build projects for community services, peak bodies and agencies in the financial counselling and hardship space. The fit is simple: the work helps people in financial trouble, you keep ownership, and the generic layer can go open.
If that sounds like your project, write to hello@tekva.org.au. Tell us what you're trying to build and when you need it.
