Financial Crisis and Material Aid – Food 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 Capability (FWC) Activity – Financial Crisis and Material Aid – Food Relief nationally 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 to vulnerable people and those most at risk of financial and social exclusion and disadvantage. Financial Crisis and Material Aid – Food Relief contributes to the FWC Activity outcomes by supporting Commonwealth-funded Emergency Relief organisations, to provide food to eligible people, on a national scale.
