Our work
Specific project initiatives provide FCVic with the opportunity to explore, develop and communicate how financial counselling supports community wellbeing.
Our approach reflects the way financial counsellors work. Our work is person-centred and responsive to need. Being curious, we seek to understand what works and what doesn’t for our partner organisations, their workforces and communities. We respond to what we learn and include the voices of all participants – financial counsellors, other service workers, agencies and clients. Together, we create new tools that help our sector to connect and communicate with diverse groups and services.
Some of the areas our work spans across include:
