At Toukley Neighbourhood Centre, we're committed to a safe and respectful environment for everyone.
We understand that applying for financial assistance can be stressful, and we're here to help. However, we do ask that all communication with our staff remains respectful — verbal or written abuse won't be tolerated and may unfortunately affect the outcome of your application.
After assessing your application, we may find that a loan isn't affordable for your current circumstances.
If this happens, we won't simply decline and leave you without support — we'll refer you to a free financial counselling service, FCAN | Financial Counsellors Association of NSW , who can work with you on other options.
We genuinely care about the wellbeing of our clients, and part of that is staying alert to scam activity.
If, during the application process, we notice anything that suggests scamming or fraudulent behaviour, we won't proceed and the application will be declined.
This helps us protect both our clients and the integrity of the NILS program.
Be careful of online scams. We won’t ask for your login details or passwords for any site, including MyGov. If you think you’ve been scammed, visit Scamwatch at www.scamwatch.com.au for help.
