Who this service is for

Many Rivers works with people who need our support the most. There are a few factors that determine whether we are right for each individual’s situation. Most often, the people we work with are either from a low-income household, identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, have an existing business they want to expand or currently rely on Government Income Support such as the JobSeeker Payment, Parenting Payment, Special Benefit, NEIS Support or Disability Payments.

If this sounds like you and you want to take that first step towards building on your business idea, see if we are right for you.
