Where can I get financial help?

You can apply for financial help to pay your rent or rent arrears if you’ve fallen behind.

Financial assistance – also known as brokerage – is funded by the Victorian Government, some specifically for people in private rental. This is distributed through your local housing organisation. Call your local homelessness and housing organisation to find out if you can access the program.

This type of financial assistance is not generally available for renters in public or community housing. Please check with your closest housing organisation about your eligibility for financial aid.
