Can I talk to a financial counsellor?

Financial counselling is a great way to help you regain control.

Financial counsellors are trained professionals who can help you work your way out of money difficulties as a result of gambling. They’re located all over NSW, and their services are free and confidential.

How a financial counsellor can support you

A financial counsellor provides personal assistance to help you manage your finances if you’re facing financial difficulties. They can:

• help you assess your financial situation
• discuss credit and debt issues, credit laws, debt recovery processes and bankruptcy
• draft a personal money management plan
• talk to credit providers, government agencies and businesses on your behalf, if appropriate
• refer you to other specialist services
