Financial Counselling Victoria (FCVic) is the peak body and professional association for financial counsellors in Victoria. They offer a free, independent, confidential service that supports people experiencing financial hardship.
Recognising the role public libraries play in being an important refuge and source of information for people in the community, FCVic has developed a suite of resources for public library professionals so that they feel comfortable addressing enquiries relating to patrons experiencing financial difficulties.
The resources are available on the FCVic Library Professionals Resources Page for libraries to download and use. The resources include the following.
