Financial Counselling Australia (FCA) is the peak body for financial counsellors in Australia. AFCCRA is a Federation of member organisations with member groups in each State and Territory. Member groups each elect one representative to FCA Council. Financial counsellors provide information to consumers in financial difficulty. A thorough assessment of an individual or family's situation is followed by identifying what can be done to address the financial problems, and the possibile advantages and disadvantages of those choices. Financial Counsellors are based in community agencies and are funded largely by State or the Federal Governments. Counsellors are required to act in the paramount interests of consumers, free of any conflict of interest and free of any commercial benefit. Contact details for organisations in each State and Territory are provided on the FCA website.
