To help sort through the more than 40 government rebates and savings, a fortnightly Cost of Living appointment service has become available at the Tuncurry based, Service NSW Centre.
"We know that cost of living is a big issue facing local households, which is why we delivered this free, advisory service," Minister for Customer Service, Victor Dominello said.
"It's open to everyone and most people who have given it a go have not been disappointed."
The service enables people to meet a cost of living specialist who can help claim savings they may be eligible for.
