About
Sefton Council awarded a contract to Post Office Limited for the provision of payment services related to the Household Support Fund, which supports vulnerable households with essential bills such as food and energy.
The contract, valued at AUD 50,000, was procured under the Procurement Act 2023 using a waiver (SEF-786143273).
The Household Support Fund, introduced in October 2021, funded local authorities to assist vulnerable households during winter months.
From April 2026, the government will replace the Household Support Fund and Discretionary Housing Payments with a new Crisis and Resilience Fund, providing funding for a three-year period.
