Based in Queensland. NILS orders processed by invoice — simple, safe, and paid directly by your approved NILS provider.
Is a NILS Loan Right for You?
The No Interest Loan Scheme (NILS) is a nationally recognised initiative delivered by Good Shepherd and accredited community partners. It exists to give Australians on low incomes access to safe, fair credit for essential items like household furniture — with zero interest, no fees and no hidden charges.
Eligibility is assessed by your NILS provider, not by The A2Z Furniture. For the most current criteria, visit the official Service NSW NILS information page or speak with your local provider.

Some widely used providers include Good Shepherd, The Salvation Army, Intereach (regional NSW), community hubs in the Northern Rivers, and state-based partners such as NILS Tasmania. Your provider will guide you through eligibility, documentation and repayment setup — often via Centrepay, so repayments are deducted automatically and stay affordable.
NILS Furniture FAQs
Who is eligible for a NILS loan in Australia?
Eligibility is set by Good Shepherd and its partner providers. Generally, you'll need a current Health Care Card, Pension Card or Low Income Health Care Card, or earn under the annual income threshold (commonly around $70,000 as a single person or $100,000 with a partner or dependants). People who have experienced family or domestic violence in the past 10 years may also qualify. Your NILS provider makes the final decision.
How much can I borrow for furniture through NILS?
You can borrow up to $2,000 for essential household items, including furniture, whitegoods and appliances. A higher limit of up to $3,000 applies in specific circumstances such as rental bonds or recovery from a natural disaster. Confirm your approved amount with your NILS provider before placing your order with us.
Is there any interest, fee or credit check?
No. NILS is genuinely interest-free. There are no application fees, account fees or hidden charges — you repay only what you borrow. Providers do not use standard credit scoring; instead, they assess your ability to repay comfortably.
How long does the NILS process take?
Once you submit your itemised quote from The A2Z Furniture to your provider, assessment typically takes a few business days to a couple of weeks depending on the provider's workload and how quickly documents are supplied. We'll hold your quote while you wait.
Do you deliver NILS orders Australia-wide?
No. We're based in Queensland with showrooms in Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast, and we deliver furniture in Queensland. Delivery timeframes and fees depend on your postcode and the items ordered — we'll confirm both on your quote.
Can I combine NILS with other payment methods?
Yes. If your order exceeds your approved NILS amount, you can pay the balance using our standard payment options. We'll split the invoice clearly so your NILS provider pays only the portion covered by your loan.
How do I start my NILS purchase with The A2Z Furniture?
