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 a series of 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. Please note. We are currently reviewing these resources as they were first created in 2019.
Please use the links below to access the fact sheets and additional supporting resources.
