What it is
Mob Strong Debt Help is a free legal service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people dealing with money problems — including debt, credit, banking and insurance. It is designed to be culturally safe, so that First Nations people can get help in a respectful and understanding way.
The service provides free legal advice and information, and does not charge for its help. You can find current contact details on its official website.
Who it helps
The service is specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people anywhere in Australia, including those in regional and remote communities. It can help with issues such as unaffordable loans, problems with car finance, funeral insurance concerns, debt collection pressure, and disputes with banks or lenders.
Whether you are dealing with a single worrying debt or several at once, the team understands the importance of listening and explaining things clearly. You can also learn more about your general options on our guide to support services.
What help it offers
Mob Strong Debt Help offers free legal advice over the phone, information about your rights, and in some cases help to take a complaint further or deal with a creditor. Because it is a legal service, it can advise on consumer credit law and unfair practices in a way that complements general financial counselling.
The team can also help connect you with a financial counsellor or other supports if that is what you need. The aim is to help you feel informed and supported, not pressured.
