This week, we heard from mob in remote Queensland about their positive experience in accessing information and support for the Youpla Support Program, which launched in July this year to help mob who were affected by the Youpla Group going broke. We worked with the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA), Services Australia, Commonwealth Treasury, ASIC and Save Sorry Business Coalition to co-design and develop a suite of culturally safe and sensitive resources that would support the Commonwealth with their community engagement efforts. It’s heartening to see how these resources are helping mob on their journey to a resolution and getting the support they deserve. If you or someone you know needs assistance, know that there are people and resources ready to help. Check out: niaa.gov.au/Youpla #YouplaSupportPrgram #CoDesign #CulturalSafety
The Youpla Support Program has been set up by the government to support mob who were affected by ACBF/Youpla going broke. If you paid for a Youpla or ACBF funeral fund on or after 1 August 2015, you might be able to get a cash payment, or a funeral bond to help with Sorry Business through the Youpla Support Program. If you’re eligible, you don’t have to apply or register- Services Australia will call you. If you need to pay for Sorry Business urgently, call Services Australia on 1800 136 380 to get the process started earlier.
