Good Shepherd Australia Partnership

In 2022, NCQ and Good Shepherd Australia is partnering to implement the Queensland Financial Resilience Program (QFRP) through Neighbourhood Centres in 20 locations around the state.

Funded by the Queensland Government, the program aims to support vulnerable Queenslanders facing financial hardship to increase financial resilience and have access to safe financial products such as the NILS (No Interest Loans Scheme).

NCQ is working with Good Shepherd Australia to ensure that QFRP is implemented in Neighbourhood Centres in a manner that complements existing financial resilience activities in each unique locality, building local community capacity and capability.

You can find our more about QFRP on Good Shepherd Australia’s website here.
