The Community Finance scheme offers affordable loans for approved people on low incomes (wage earners or benefit recipients).
Loan applications are made through approved our Community Finance centres, which then work with you throughout the life of your loan, monitoring repayments and providing support and financial education.

- No Interest Loan (NILS) of up to $1000 for a maximum of 18 months.
