Financial Rights regularly hosts training and information sessions designed to give professionals, most commonly financial counsellors and generalist CLC solicitors, the necessary knowledge and tools to help current and future clients with specialist credit, debt and insurance advice, as well as make appropriate and timely referrals to Financial Rights. We engage with state and territory Financial Counsellor Associations to develop topics of interest for financial counsellors around Australia.
Over the last 18 months we have offered training on insurance topics such as bushfire and flood insurance, common insurance issues, bankruptcy and insurance, DV: debt and insurance and junk insurances. We have also offered sessions on the latest developments in credit reporting, buy now pay later, wage advance and other easy cash products; as well a delivering information sessions about the work of a financial counsellor. During the same period, our Mob Strong team have delivered training about the progression of claims against Youpla/Aboriginal Community Benefit Fund prior to the fund’s collapse and then regular information on the developing claims and compensation campaign. The team have also provided information about products such as consumer leases and a cultural communications presentation ‘yarning with mob about money’. The team meet with Aboriginal community network groups and welcome the opportunity to yarn about their service.
Please contact the Community Legal Education Officer via info@financialrights.org.au, if your organisation would like to arrange a training session or would simply like to learn more about the services that Financial Rights Legal Centre offers. The online world ensures that we can visit you wherever you are located in NSW or Australia to deliver a topic within our area of expertise, that your team is interested in hearing about.
Tiffany attended one of our trainings
The presentation was so clearly presented. Very practical and useful examples and down to earth ways to explain money issues. Julia is very engaging and very clear. The example scenarios and the visuals of the credit reports were very helpful. I finally understand the difference between an ‘arrangement’ and a ‘variation’ which has baffled me for some time!
