Additional Information: HomeBase provides early intervention support to families who are at risk of losing their accommodation. Its aim is to prevent families from becoming homeless. Assistance is provided to families to stabilise their housing whether this is private rental, public housing or their own homes (mortgages) and financial circumstances.

Families also have direct access to a Centrelink Social Worker, a member of the HomeBase Team. This ensures that immediate assistance is available to ensure that correct entitlements are being received and that any other issues in relation to payments and/or debts, for example, are addressed.
