Summary of activities
FCA is the national voice for the financial counselling profession in Australia. It is a not for profit organisation that:
• Provides resources and support for financial counsellors;
• Advocates for a fairer marketplace;
• Works to raise the profile of financial counsellors;
• Advocates to increase access to financial counselling; and
• Works to improve hardship processes for people in financial difficulty.
In the past year we have supported the financial counselling sector and worked to improve access to financial counselling by:
• increased promotion of financial counselling so more people in financial hardship can access it, especially those affected by COVID related hardship;
• enhanced the National Debt Helpline by adding substantial new content to the website and piloting a chat service;
• facilitated an increase in the number of trained financial counsellors through our intern project and a virtual placement model to allow current students to complete their qualification remotely; and
• set up a dedicated phone financial counselling service for small business.
