We can help you find the support you need

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in situations outside of our control. If you or someone you know is experiencing financial difficulty or life challenges, things can become overwhelming and you may not know where or how to ask for help. There are many different reasons why you might need to reach out for assistance, and we want to make it easier for you. Unitywater has put together a list of resources and organisations to help point our customers in the right direction of what support is available in the community.

Ask Izzy is a free and anonymous website that connects people with support services for a variety of needs, some categories include, but are not limited to:

  • Financial Stress
  • Domestic Family Violence
  • Mental health
  • Unemployment
  • Food
  • Disabilities
  • Counselling Services
  • Communication and technology barriers.

Visit Ask Izzy
