Financial support for tenants
We know that people have been struggling with the rising cost of living, so we have re-introduced our Financial Wellbeing groups for tenants to share cost saving tips and meet their local financial counsellor. This year we have run groups in Kwinana, Success and Cannington and we wanted to share some resources that tenants talked about:
Concessions WA Concessions WA is an online resource where you can find details on more than 100 rebates, concessions and subsidy schemes you could be eligible for. Visit concessions.communities.wa.gov.au for more information. Above: Housing Choices WA Tenancy Officer Nicola (left) with tenant Gail (right).

Emergency Relief and Food Access Service This is a free phone service that can connect you to local services who can support you including the Mobile Foodbank. The Mobile Foodbank visits suburbs in and out of Perth to make it easier for people to access their service. They offer hampers of frozen and dry goods and fruit and vegetables for between $5-$15. To get a referral, call the Emergency Relief and Food Access Service on 1800 979 777 .
