Most Australians have never heard of one of the most effective forms of financial support available to them — and The Salvation Army says that needs to change.
As new research reveals that more than 9.7 million Australians (44%) will start 2026 in debt and almost nine in ten (89%) feel the same or more stressed about their finances than last year,* The Salvos are urging the nation to uncover a resource that could transform their financial wellbeing: Moneycare, the organisation’s free and confidential financial counselling service.
Moneycare has been described as “one of Australia’s best-kept secrets”, despite providing more than 48,000 sessions of care last financial year alone. The service supports people to get on top of debt, create realistic budgets, navigate financial stress and build long-term stability — all at no cost.
