When you feel out of control of your finances - what is coming in each week, and what is going out - it can put a lot of worry and strain on you and your family. At St Vincent de Paul QLD, we are here to support you and your family through, and beyond, an immediate financial worry or crisis.  

We offer immediate Financial Wellbeing support to help you rebuild your finances and improve your day-to-day living. We also provide support if you want to make a long-term behavioral change in understanding how to manage your money.   

All of our Financial Wellbeing services aim to help you become more financially independent, make better financial decisions, and improve your overall mental wellbeing and confidence in managing your money.  

Assistance includes, but is not limited to: 

  • Vinnies Interest Free Loans 
  • SPER Hardship Support 

You can also receive more immediate financial support through our Hardship Relief, or our Disaster Relief services.
