Some key findings...
- Almost all councils had a hardship policy but they varied greatly
- Information about hardship relief can be hard to find
- Many councils encourage ratepayers in financial hardship to go on payment plans
- Councils do not always tell ratepayers their rates can be deferred or waived
- Councils had an over reliance on debt collectors
- Some councils were too quick to sue, including litigation against victims of family violence and people with mental health issues
- Council hardship practices compare poorly with sectors such as banks, energy and water
