Stop the Debt Trap Campaign

Dec 4, 2019 | News

MoneyMob strongly supports the Stop the Debt Trap campaign for reform to the small amount credit contracts legislation. Small amount credit contracts are also known as “payday loans” and trap Australians into high-cost, crippling debt. Indigenous Australians on low incomes can be very vulnerable to this type of debt. You can join the campaign to Stop the Debt Trap by signing up at this link https://mailchi.mp/consumeraction/debttrap 

Money Mob recently partnered with the Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) to deliver information sessions to aged care residents in Atitjere, Ti Tree, Wilora, Willowra, Laramba, Yuelamu and Lajamanu.

Alongside the residents, staff and carers had a chance to learn skills in financial literacy, saving goals, debt, financial abuse, humbug and making informed decisions when spending.

We provide practical financial literacy training services for individuals to gain confidence and competence in essential financial life skills.
