NILS – a community program with reach and impact like no other!

NILS offers safe, fair, and affordable loans to people on low incomes for essential goods and services, like white goods, car repairs, furniture and medical, dental and educational expenses.

NILS began in 1981 and is supported by Federal and State Governments. We have partnered with NAB since 2003, and they provide us with access to $130 million in loan capital. In 2017-18, we:

  • reached 58,000 people
    • 66% women
    • 23% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
  • partnered with 160 community providers
  • delivered via 620 sites
  • wrote over 26,000 loans of almost $26 million in value
  • introduced NILS in the Workplace

 

Join us and Deliver greater impact with further reach!

We’re expanding our leadership to ensure our teams, our partnerships, and our client-focus, all remain strong well into the future.
