Submission to the Victorian Household Concessions Program Assessment
FCVic has made a response to the Victorian Household Concessions Program assessment.
Financial counsellors in Victoria work closely with concession card holders and have considerable insight into the impacts and effectiveness of the concessions program. Our response to the assessment draws on the professional observations and experiences of
Victorian financial counsellors.
The response highlights areas of the program which could be improved to remove barriers to access for some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged community groups, including older people, CALD community members, and family violence victim-survivors.
