Emergency Relief 'Help Now'
Help Now program provides emergency relief in times of hardship to people of our community. Emergency relief helps addresses people immediate basic needs in times of financial strife, generally provided in the form of material and financial aid.
This program provides support in areas such as:
- Purchase vouchers of a fixed value (for example, food, transport or chemist vouchers).
- Part-payment of an outstanding account (for example rent/accommodation, utility account/s).
- Material assistance such as food hamper.
- Information, advocacy and referrals.
This program also aims to prevent future financial strife by referring people to appropriate financial and social support services.
