Positive Economics report outlines alternative funding models for financial counselling

This report examines alternative funding models for the Financial Counselling Industry Fund (FCIF), finding that the current voluntary funding approach has resulted in funding shortfalls, uncertainty and inequities in contributions across participating sectors.

It assesses three alternative formula-based funding models and sets out a range of recommendations and implementation considerations to support a more transparent, sustainable and equitable funding framework for financial counselling services.
