MY CLIENT NEEDS HELP

Financial counsellors, community legal centres and other community professionals are often the first line of defence against predatory and exploitative businesses for people experiencing disadvantage and vulnerability.

We want to support you in the important work you do. We have developed an extensive range of resources that can be used to support clients through a range of consumer and finance issues.

If you need help putting your client on the right path, you can also contact our Worker Advice Line on 03 9602 3326 between 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm (Mon-Fri).

OUR DEDICATED TEAM CAN:

  • provide legal information and advice to caseworkers including financial counsellors, community lawyers and other not-for-profit workers about their clients’ consumer and finance issues
  • build the capacity and knowledge of community workers to assist their clients’ consumer and finance issues
  • maintain effective referral pathways for disadvantaged, low income or otherwise vulnerable clients requiring legal assistance
