Mortgage Stress Victoria (MSV) is a specialist statewide community legal centre. We provide free, life-changing financial counselling, legal and social work services to Victorians experiencing mortgage stress. Our clients are complex, ineligible for other intensive supports and often at risk of homelessness. 

While housing stress and the cost of living dominate the media cycle, there is a dearth of consumer perspectives on how mortgage debt products and markets could be reformed to benefit homeowners and aspiring homeowners.
