Financial assistance

Financial stress is one of the biggest challenges for families. It is one of the factors that can affect a family’s health and wellbeing, as well as influence a child’s emotional and psychological development. 

Social workers and education and care staff at The Infants’ Home do their best to make access to education and development centres available to all children. 

Who we help

For this reason The Infants’ Home provides scholarships to children whose families are facing financial hardship. 

Our social workers talk to families and refer them to external agencies for:

• Financial counselling
• No-interest loan schemes
• Assistance with entitlements and payments through Centrelink  

Dollars and Sense

The Infants’ Home also conducts a financial literacy program for women called Dollars and Sense. This program:

• Provides women with information about money
• Explains strategies to manage their money more effectively
• Helps women become more independent

We conduct programs such as Dollars and Sense in partnership with other organisations.
