FINANCIAL SUPPORT
For refugees, arriving in Australia means learning new financial systems and structures, often with few savings to fall back on. The Australian Refugee Association (ARA) provides a range of services to help clients understand these new systems. From caseworkers helping individuals negotiate with power companies, to workshops on budgeting, ARA's services are designed to respond to short-term needs and support long-term stability. ARA provides some small, one-off financial grants to help eligible clients in short-term or emergency situations.
