Rural Financial Counselling Service is part of the flood recovery and rebuild effort across the Loddon.
The service is assisting farmers and businesses with assistance applications.
RFCS says
RURAL Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) has operated nationwide for over 35 years, providing free business support to primary producers and now regional small business owners navigating the challenges of financial stress or uncertainty, such as the current flooding events.
RFCS Victoria West is your local provider, and with the announcement of a range of flood relief grants and government support, our financial counsellors can assist from beginning to end of the application process. We are here to walk alongside you for as little or as long as you need us.
Rural financial counsellors and small business financial counsellors are a great resource for your farm or small business operation. They’re based in the regions they work in and understand local conditions and communities. We can come to you, in your home, on your farm, in your small business, wherever you feel most comfortable.
Financial counsellors can help with:
- Accessing grants and government support
- Understanding your financial position
- Identifying and exploring options and opportunities
- Negotiating with banks, creditors or insurance providers
- Planning for the next months and for the future
During times of crisis, we know that mental health and wellbeing issues can also become a concern.
Feeling of stress, anxiety and loss can all make the rebuilding journey that much more difficult. At RFCS Victoria West, we have a team of qualified wellbeing counsellors available to ensure anyone working with a financial counsellor is fully supported.
Appointments are always FREE of charge.
