EMERGENCY RELIEF

Doing it tough? Life sometimes throws people a curve ball. If that happens to you, Esperance Care Services is there to provide emergency financial relief in the form of food vouchers and food hampers. If required, emergency assistance in the form of basic living needs such as clothing, bedding and basic household necessities can also be provided to people in Esperance and the surrounding communities.

If you can’t afford to buy food or pay your bills, or you have unexpected family-related expenses such as medicine, we may be able to help. Depending on your situation, we may be able to provide crisis assistance towards your bills or food or provide you with clothing.

If you need more help, we can refer you to other appropriate support services.

What to bring to your Emergency Relief appointment:

• Your Centrelink statement
• Your income statement or payslip if you have one
• The bill you need us to help you pay (if you need assistance with a bill)

Contact us for more information if you are unsure if you qualify.

This service is supported by funding from the Federal Department of Social Services and Lotterywest.
