3 steps to getting back on track
1. Explore your options
- Take a look at the range of free resources available to you. These resources can help you plan and manage your finances.
2. Have your information ready
- Your income and employment status
- What you own (superannuation, household items, vehicles and shares)
- What you owe (Westpac and other lenders, utilities, household expenses and other lifestyle expenses)
- What has changed to cause you financial difficulty?
- What changes do you expect in the future?
Having this information means we can make an accurate assessment of your financial position.
