Need some extra food?

We always have food
on hand to help fill your belly

Food is essential to stay healthy, but it isn’t always easy to access. Soaring grocery prices, medical costs and unforeseen expenses can make it hard to afford nutritious, fresh food.

If you’re struggling to put food on the table, come in and see us. We have food relief packs* that include everyday pantry basics and toiletries, as well as regular drops from Oz Harvest. We cook nutritious meals in our commercial kitchen that you can take home.

* food packs subject to eligibility
Bill Assistance Access Community Support

LOSING SLEEP OVER YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL?

We can help you access Bill Assistance

If you’re struggling to pay household energy bills, you could be eligible for Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA). As an approved provider we can assess your eligibility and walk you through the application process and eligibility requirements.

Just need someone in your corner?

We advocate on your behalf

Sometimes it helps to get someone else’s perspective on an issue so you can figure out what to do next. We take the time to listen and understand what’s happening so we can advocate for you. Whether you need help negotiating with a real estate agent or property manager, working out a payment plan with a service provider or just need a hand filling out important paperwork, we can help.
