Financial help if you’re affected by family and domestic violence

There are payments to help you after experiencing family and domestic violence.

You may be able to get a payment while you’re getting back on your feet. You may also be eligible for a no interest loan or savings from your state or territory government.

You can talk to your bank about ways they help people who are affected by family and domestic violence.

No Interest Loans

You may be able to get a No Interest Loan (NIL) from Good Shepherd to help you with costs.

NILs let you borrow money for essential goods and services, like car repairs, white goods or a rental bond. You pay no interest and you only repay what you borrow.

Find out more about No Interest Loans on the Good Shepherd website.
