Financial Counsellor

At ILC, we exist to support vulnerable and disadvantaged people to access free legal services and to recognise and act on their legal rights. Our team is dedicated, person-centred, and deeply committed to the values of social justice, dignity, and human rights.

We’re seeking a skilled and compassionate Financial Counsellor who wants more than just a job — someone who wants to make a real difference in the lives of people experiencing financial stress.

As our Financial Counsellor, you’ll provide free, confidential assistance, advocacy, advice and information to people experiencing financial hardship. You will assess the presenting issue and provide clients with various options for the client to choose their course of action. You will advocate for client rights, and support people in navigating debt, credit, and bankruptcy challenges.

You will be a trusted advocate, educator, and change-maker, delivering meaningful services while identifying systemic issues and contributing to policy and law reform.

If you’re passionate about empowering people through financial justice, apply today. Be part of a team that listens, acts, and changes lives.
