To be eligible to apply, you must have received an invitation to apply through GrantConnect.

The NDH is a national telephone service that provides access to financial counselling services which support eligible people to address their financial problems through the provision of information, advocacy and negotiation. People can also access information at ndh.org.au, and chat to a financial counsellor online through the NDH chat function on the website.

The NDH operates as the front door into financial counselling supports by providing individuals with financial counselling services, and referrals to other supports including emergency relief, housing, mental health support, and family and domestic violence supports.
