Having trouble working out a budget for the up-coming semester or even the entire academic year? The Guild provides a range of supports through the Student Centre to assist students who find that they are struggling financially. An Education Officer is available to help you with budgeting, debt issues, and access to a range of support programs, as well as providing a number of Guild funded financial assistance schemes. You should make time to see an education Officer if you find:
- That your money isn’t lasting the week;
- You can’t pay your rent;
- You can’t keep up with bills that you owe;
- You are unsure where your next meal is coming from;
- You are unwell but can’t afford medicine or health services;
- That the costs of textbooks, stationary and other things preparing you for the semester ahead are overwhelming;
- Worried about owing a lot of money;
- That access to an interest free loan would help you through a bad patch; or
- You would like someone to help you to manage your money better.
