Using a financial counsellor or representative when discussing hardship.
 
        If you’d prefer, we can discuss your request for hardship assistance with a nominated representative, such as a financial counsellor, advisor, community worker or solicitor. 
If you choose to use a financial counsellor or representative on your behalf, we will need you to provide us with a written authority signed by you authorising ME to speak with your representative on your behalf. The authority should include:
	- 
	
the full name, address and contact details (telephone or email) of your representative 
	 
	- 
	
if the authorisation is ongoing or limited to a timeframe.
	 
If you have any queries, please get in touch on 13 15 63.
