The Albanese Labor Government is boosting emergency relief support in South Australia, with an additional $2.47 million investment in The Salvation Army Phone Assessment Line, connecting people to help when they need it most.
Answering almost 1000 calls nationally each day, The Salvation Army’s Phone Assessment Line provides vital support and referrals to people in need, helping with food, fuel and other essentials, and connecting callers with other important services like financial counselling.
The Phone Assessment Line makes emergency relief available to people who are unable to travel to a physical emergency relief provider due to being in a regional or remote area, disability, injury, illness, transport or work commitments.
Since October last year, The Salvation Army has supported more than 4,500 South Australians in need, with this funding boost making sure that important work continues.
