The Hut offers no interest and no fee loans to residents of the Adelaide Hills on a low income. The NILS program at The Hut is facilitated by volunteers and is a service of Good Shepherd. This great program allows people on low incomes to buy new appliances or services via interest free loans using safe, fair and affordable credit rather than using payday lenders or hire purchase.  For further information amount Good Shepherd visit their website https://goodshep.org.au/services/nils/.

NILS can provide the following loans:

• Up to $3,000 for bond on a new rental property, and costs associated with a natural disaster.
• $2,000 for essentials such as appliances or furniture, computer, car repairs or registration, medical, dental or vet expenses.
• $1,000 for mobile phones

This is repaid in regular affordable repayments up to 24 month period (usually via Centrepay). Please click here Repayment guide 24 months to see examples of fortnightly repayment amounts, which vary depending on total amount borrowed and the length of time.
