Tuesday 10 pm – Budget outcome still unclear for financial counselling

Tuesday 13th May 2014 – 10 pm – The budget outcome for Commonwealth-funded financial counselling services (and emergency relief services) remains unclear. The Commonwealth is continuing to invest in the sector, through what is called the “Financial Wellbeing and Capability Programme”. You can find programme information here.

What is unclear is the amount of funding involved.

FCA is meeting with the Minister’s office on Wednesday morning. We will let financial counsellors and other stakeholders know more as soon as we can.
