Financial Crisis and Material Aid – Emergency Relief

Overview

The Australian Government is inviting organisations to apply in an open selection process to deliver services under the Families and Communities Program – Financial Wellbeing and Capability (FWC) Activity – Financial Crisis and Material Aid – Emergency Relief across Australia from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2023.  The FWC Activity is a component of the Families and Communities Program. The Families and Communities Program aims to strengthen relationships, improve the wellbeing of children and young people, reduce the cost of family breakdown, strengthen family and community functioning and facilitate the settlement of migrants and humanitarian entrants in the community. The objectives of the FWC Activity are to support eligible individuals and families to navigate financial crises, build financial wellbeing, financial capability, and resilience. FWC services provide support for vulnerable people and those most at risk of financial and social exclusion and disadvantage. Financial Crisis and Material Aid – Emergency Relief contributes to the FWC Activity outcomes by providing immediate financial or material aid to eligible people. This may constitute food parcels, clothes or vouchers (for example vouchers for supermarket, utilities or petrol).
