There are places in New South Wales that can provide emergency or crisis help. Emergency Relief organisations provide immediate financial and/or material support to people in financial crisis. The type of assistance offered by each organisation varies, however, may include one-off assistance such as;
- food (Mobile Community Pantry, food and soup vans)
- transport or chemist vouchers
- part-payment of utility account/s
- food parcels or clothing
- budgeting assistance and/or, referrals to other services that help to address underlying causes of financial crisis.
If you are in need of material or financial assistance, you can call the Salvos on 1300 371 288 (9am-5pm Monday to Friday). This phone number will connect you with their Emergency Relief assessment team.
