Youpla Support Program is closing soon

The Youpla Support Program runs until 30 June 2026. We want to make sure eligible former ACBF/Youpla members don’t miss out.

The Youpla Support Program runs until 30 June 2026. We want to ensure former Youpla/ACBF members receive their resolution payment if they are eligible.

The Youpla Group sold funeral funds to First Nations people. It was also called the Aboriginal Community Benefit Fund, or ACBF for short. When Youpla collapsed in March 2022, many people could no longer pay for Sorry Business.

The Youpla Support Program has been providing resolution payments to support people who were impacted by the collapse of the Youpla Group/ACBF.

Most eligible people have got their payment now, but there are still a few former ACBF/Youpla members we haven’t spoken to yet.

If you paid ACBF/Youpla for a funeral fund (also called a funeral policy or plan) on or after 1 August 2015, you could get a payment through the Youpla Support Program.

If you think you’re eligible and haven’t spoken to Services Australia, you need to contact them by 30 June 2026. You can call 1800 136 380 or visit your local Service Centre. You don’t need to wait to be contacted.
