It also provides access to legal counselling and advisory services (in German and English, while additional languages can be arranged with sufficient notice) via the contact details included in the materials, with support available by phone, online or in person, and offers information on available financial support linked to membership of the Chamber.

It also includes Austrian workers and foreign nationals from EU and non-EU countries with limited German language skills. Online information is accessible to all, while advisory services and financial support are available to members of the Chamber, with all agricultural workers in Carinthia automatically considered members. Eligibility for specific financial support is subject to minimum membership duration requirements
