A year into the COVID-19 pandemic, many Australians are trapped in a vicious cycle of increasing debts while relying on multiple personal loans to cover their household bills and living costs.


Key Points to remember

  • Keeping the communication channels open with your financial institution is the best way towards alienating your debt.
  • Prioritise repaying debts tied to your assets and the ones with the highest interest rate.
  • Around 850 financial counsellors nationwide offer free, confidential and legal support and their help is available in languages other than English.
