Hobart Community Support Services.

Anyone can experience financial hardship so having access to compassionate and practical support is important. We at Uniting Vic.Tas Hobart are committed to ensuring that you have right assistance through our emergency relief programs which are available Monday and Tuesday 9:30am to 12:30pm. 

In the case of requiring immediate support, our emergency food vouchers and material aid relief program can help you get back on your feet. We can provide access to groceries and non-perishable food, as well as personal care items and clothing. 

Our community meal program is known as ‘NoBucks’ and offers a nutritious sit down lunch on Monday to Friday from 12pm to 1:30pm. This program enables you to access a free meal in a supportive and caring environment.

If you are having difficulty in affording to pay for your bills and other basic essentials, we can provide you with relief through our bills and expense assistance program. Uniting Vic.Tas can help you pay for some bills including utility bills and back to school expenses.

Uniting Vic.Tas also has a free Energy Support program.

This is a free over the phone service, that anybody can access.
