We understand that navigating various government financial programs can be a confusing, frustrating and time-consuming task for people with ME/CFS.
We are grateful to the Victorian Women's Trust for their 2018 grant, which allowed us to run financial literacy workshops and create fact sheets, to assist people with ME/CFS and their carers to understand the social service benefits they may be eligible to access. We are currently seeking funding to further develop our ability to help people with their applications for financial support.
