Financial Information Service seminars
Centrelink's Financial Information Service (FIS) offers free assistance that can show you how to make informed financial decisions and help you to understand the consequences of those decisions. FIS is available to everyone, whether you are a Centrelink customer or not, through one-on-one appointments or attendance at a FIS seminar.
There will be free seminars at each Centrelink Skills and Jobs Expo location to provide information on how you can manage and make the most of your money, taking into account your current situation. Financial Information Service Officers will cover off topics that highlight what Centrelink services you might be entitled to as well as helping you to understand and take control of your finances.
The main topics covered include:
- Making your dollar go further
- Saving for the future
- Ways that Centrelink can help
Financial Information Service Officers will also be on hand to answer your questions at the FIS stand.
The 30-minute seminars will be held regularly throughout the day. You do not need to book in advance to attend one.
