What the service does

Financial Counselling Service supports people in Queensland who are affected by cancer and having money problems. Qualified financial counsellors provide free information, support and advocacy. A counsellor will work with the person to understand their financial situation and support their financial goals. This may include help with budgeting, reviewing debts and exploring ways to manage money or reduce financial stress. Counsellors can also help people understand their rights, talk with creditors, and find government or community support.
