| What is
the Emergency Relief program? |
The
program aims to assist people to deal with their immediate crisis
situation in a way that maintains their dignity and encourages
self-reliance.
Hunters Hill Ryde Community Services will:
1. Provide short term emergency, financial and or material assistance;
and/or
2. Refer clients to other services that help to address underlying
causes of financial crisis, including:
• Financial counselling services
• Drug and alcohol rehabilitation services
• Supported accommodation services
• Mental health services
Emergency Relief is not an income support
payment. It is expected that in most cases assistance will be for a
one-off purpose. |
