Financial counselling at TEKVA is delivered by FCAN-registered Financial Counsellors. Financial capability support is provided by Financial Capability Workers — distinct from financial counselling, with no credit advice or creditor negotiation. We also provide crisis triage, practical support, and referral coordination. We do not provide AFSL-licensed financial product advice, legal advice, or insolvency advice. Where specialist support is needed, we connect people to qualified professionals.
