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