Financial Hub

Wunan’s Financial Hub is a lifeline for many Aboriginal individuals and families across the East Kimberley, offering financial counselling, digital literacy, tenancy education, housing support, and emergency relief. Our goal is to empower people to achieve economic independence, build financial resilience, and navigate an increasingly digital financial landscape.

The closure of the major banks in Kununurra exacerbated financial hardship for many community members. In response, our team has provided critical support, helping clients access funds through online banking, resolve identification issues, and improve digital literacy skills to adapt to these changes.

For many families in the East Kimberley, unexpected financial hardship can mean struggling to afford food, rent, or essential bills. Wunan’s Emergency Relief Program ensures that individuals facing an immediate crisis can access financial support when they need it most.

Our ‘Paying Your Utilities Day’ events have been highly successful, bringing together key partners such as Horizon Power, Water Corporation, Nirrumbuk, and OVAHS to assist community members with outstanding bills and provide guidance on financial management.

We also employ a dedicated Financial Counsellor, who provides a much-needed service for the community. Our Financial Counsellor has been able to work closely with individual clients to build their own financial literacy on the path towards long-term financial stability.
