With a commitment to providing accessible financial counselling services, the FCAQ acknowledges and respects the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of the land. The association recognizes the importance of cultural heritage and pays tribute to the Gimuy-walubarra yidi people, who are part of the Irukandji country and the traditional owners of the land where the FCAQ office is located.

By offering free counselling services and a dedicated hotline, the association plays a vital role in promoting financial well-being and resilience within the community.
