Christians Against Poverty
As the only charitable provider of free debt management in Australia, CAP exists to address the problem of poverty and social exclusion caused by over-indebtedness. CAP has a unique 'hands on' approach empowers people to help themselves to get out of poverty and to be released from the fear, oppression and worry generated by overwhelming debt. CAP provides sustainable poverty relief as our service teaches clients vital budgeting skills that will last a lifetime. CAP's services are provided through a network of outreach centres in partnership with local churches and The Red Door Community Church is one of them. Restoring hope and dignity to Australians overwhelmed by the burden of unmanageable debt. We can assist you in two distinct ways:
CAP MONEY
The CAP Money Course is a revolutionary money management course that teaches people budgeting skills and a simple, cash-based system that really works. This course will help anyone to get more in control of their finances, so they can budget, save and prevent debt. The Red Door runs CAP Money courses over two nights at the church every few months.

A Money Mentor will walk alongside you, supporting you to manage your financial situation. They’re goal is to empower you with the skills and knowledge that will allow you to:
- - Better understand your current financial situation.
- - Manage your day-to-day expenses, including paying bills, and putting food on the table.
