WARNING – 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: www.humanservice.gov.au/advancepayments. Phone: 13 17 94

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