Essential Information

Continue We offer three different types of loans. Essentially the length of time and the amount you are seeking to borrow affects the setup fee and interest rate that we will charge you.

If you hold a Health or Concession Card, and you wish to borrow up to $1200 for essential household items and repay within 12 months to suit your budget. You may be eligible for a NILS* loan which has no fees or interest.
Otherwise, you may be eligible for a Community Loan (*Terms and Conditions apply). Community Loans are loans between $500 and $4000.
1. If you choose to repay the loan within 12 months, we will charge you a 20% setup fee.^*
2. If you choose to repay the loan over a 24 month repayment term. We will charge you 20% setup fee and 15% interest per year.^*
