Do you really need a loan today?*
It can be expensive to borrow small amounts of money and borrowing may not solve your money
problems. Check your options before you borrow:
- For information about other options for managing bills and debts, ring 1800 007 007 from
anywhere in Australia to talk to a free and Independent financial counsellor
- Talk to your electricity, gas, phone or water provider to see if you can work out a payment
plan
- If you are on government benefits, ask if you can receive an advance from Centrelink:

The Government's MoneySmart website shows you how
small amount loans work and suggests other options that may help you.
