Financial Counselling

Helping families navigate financial challenges during their child’s medical journey.

Financial support when most needed

When your child is ill or injured, the last thing you need is added financial stress.

Being away from home for medical treatment can bring unexpected expenses, time away from work and uncertainty about how to manage everyday bills.

Through our partnership with Lutheran Care, families staying at Ronald McDonald House in Adelaide can access free, confidential financial counselling to help navigate these challenges.

Whether worried about bills, managing debt or simply unsure what financial support may be available, a Financial Counsellor can help.

What can financial counselling help with?

A qualified Financial Counsellor can provide practical advice and support with:

  • Financial rights and responsibilities
  • Budgeting and money management
  • Negotiating with banks, creditors and others
  • Debts and the debt recovery processes
  • Navigating financial hardship arrangements
  • Accessing Centrelink payments, grants and other financial assistance

What does it cost?

Financial counselling is completely free for families staying at Ronald McDonald House in Adelaide.
