Understanding infringements and fines, debt matters and motor vehicle accidents for new arrival and migrant communities
Understanding what works in preventing difficulties related to infringements and fines, debt matters and motor vehicle accidents for new arrival and migrant communities
This early-stage work will build our understanding of how to design information, education and support to intervene earlier with clients likely to experience difficulties with infringements and fines, debt matters and motor vehicle accidents particularly for priority groups experiencing multiple and intersecting disadvantages.
Whittlesea Community Connections will seek to understand why and how clients experience difficulties, map what resources are available and how helpful they are for the priority cohorts. We will seek to identify gaps and opportunities.
