25.01.2022 Ever wondered exactly what Emergency Relief is? Community, Information and Support agencies provide Emergency Relief (ER) to people in need. There are many typ...es of ER and this kind of support is available to any person, regardless of background or visa status. Help may be given with food or paying for things like groceries and bills. Many agencies also provide follow-up support through information, referrals and advocacy. Watch the video to find out more! If you are in need of help, you can find your local agency here: http://www.cisvic.org.au/home/find-your-local-agency You can also check out: https://askizzy.org.au/ #BecauseWeHelp #WhatIsEmergencyRelief

21.01.2022 Due to COVID 19 restrictions our usual Tax Help Program has been suspended indefinitely as our volunteer cannot provide face to face assistance to complete Tax Returns. However, the ATO has produced a range of information to assist people to do Tax returns online via their MyGov account. The information is simplified and available in different languages. Below is a list of various resources that may be helpful when navigating the process of completing your own tax return. Y...ou can also ring the ATO on 13 28 61 and ask for the Tax Help program.
