The Emergency Relief program under the Financial Wellbeing and Capability (FWC) Activity is a national financial crisis response program in Australia. It aims to support individuals experiencing financial stress who have limited resources to help alleviate their financial crisis.
The Australian Government Department of Social Services Financial Wellbeing and Capability Activity – Emergency Relief Program aims to help financially vulnerable individuals and families by providing emergency relief services. This includes immediate financial assistance, food parcels, clothing, and vouchers for essential items such as utilities and petrol. The program is designed to help people manage their financial crises and encourage self-reliance by referring them to relevant services.
The Australian Government funds community organisations to support eligible individuals and families in financial crises.
Services are free, voluntary and confidential.
