Get help now
Pick the one closest to you. You can do a lot of this yourself, and anything you make here you can print and take to a financial counsellor.
We check the contacts in the Hardship Helper against each company's own website.
We work alongside financial counsellors, community services and support workers. When one of them refers you and we're the right fit, we start with what's most urgent: the bills, the calls, the deadlines. From there, support can include getting back to work and income, and building AI skills for the job search.
People come to us through a service they're already seeing, so they don't have to tell their story twice.
Seeing a worker or service?
A financial counsellor, community or health worker, or a housing or employment service. Send them tekva.org.au/refer and ask them to refer you.
Not seeing anyone?
Call the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007. They can connect you with a financial counsellor. Make your plan here first, so you go in ready.
