Emergency Relief

WA’s South West

There are times when life throws you a curveball. Maybe you’ve lost your job and suddenly find yourself without a house. Maybe you can’t afford your power or gas bill and it’s about to be cut off. In times like this, you don’t need judgement – you need someone who understands.

Relief when you really need it

Our Emergency Relief services are here for you in your time of need and if you are eligible, can provide you with help. You will need to meet a few eligibility criteria to receive emergency relief but once we understand your story better we will be able to work out how to assist you both in the short term as well as into the future.

Through a friendly phone chat we are able to determine if you are eligible:

  • Help to feed your family with food vouchers or Foodbank access
  • Support so you are able to remain connected with home utilities
  • Assistance to help pay for prescriptions bills
  • Material aid and goods to help with day-to-day living
  • Access to ongoing support services including financial planning, mental health and drug and alcohol support.

Please call Monday and Wednesday at 9am for an eligibility check. Due to high demand of support services, requests will be reviewed on a first-call, first serve basis.

Those who are eligible to receive emergency relief come from many walks of life. Whatever your circumstance, knowing someone is there in your absolute hour of need can ease the pressure.
