No Interest Loans Scheme (NILS)

The No Interest Loans Scheme (NILS) helps eligible individuals and families access safe and affordable loans for essential goods and services without interest, fees, or charges.

While The Kogarah Storehouse no longer provides NILS assessments or loan processing directly, our team can offer information about the program and assist with referrals to a current NILS provider. We are committed to helping community members connect with the appropriate services and support available to them.

If you would like to learn more about NILS or discuss your options, please contact our team for assistance.

Need help with your tax return?

We’re here for you.

Tax time can be stressful, but you don’t have to do it alone.

From 6th August to the end of October, The Kogarah Storehouse will join a network of Tax Help centres where

ATO-trained volunteers can support eligible community members earning $70,000 or less each year.

Our volunteers can help you:

• lodge your tax return

• claim a refund of franking credits

• lodge an amendment or non-lodgment advice

• get set up on myGov and link to the ATO.

Sessions are free, confidential, and available right here in the community.

Bookings essential. Call 02 9587 5761 for available times.
