Financial Counselling

The Financial Counselling Service offers access to information and advice to individuals and businesses facing financial hardship. The service also provides community education workshops, tax returns for low income earners and budgeting advice.

Manage Your Income

Centacare offers this program on money management specifically to Indigenous communities.  Based on adult learning principles, the program provides training and mentoring in financial management skills to identified community members. Work, goal setting and discussion are based in a narrative approach.

Participants will then act as financial mentors within Indigenous communities and support community members to develop enterprises, such as small businesses, and encourage Aboriginal people to access local services.
