How Do We Assist?
Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter Financial Counsellors can help a wide range of clients with an equally wide range of financial problems. We may not be able to solve every problem but we will help clients to get the right information. The financial counsellor will encourage and help clients take control of their financial affairs by:

• Assessing the problem at hand
  
• Helping to prepare a budget
  
• Negotiating with creditors
  
• Advocating on their behalf
  
• Informing them of their rights
  
• Linking with appropriate community agencies

LFCS is funded through the Office of Fair Trading (NSW government) and the Department of Family, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (Federal government) allowing it to be a FREE service to you. LCFS staff is fully trained, accredited and experienced in helping people experiencing financial difficulties. LCFS staff is here to assist you.
