NeoCats has a history rooted in addressing community needs and future planning. Originally launched as the North East Orange County Advanced Transportation Study (NEOCATS), the project focused on the growing demands of a rapidly expanding region.
With one of the nation’s largest universities, thriving business parks, and developing residential areas, the community faced pressing transportation challenges.
NEOCATS was created to identify new roadway connections, reduce congestion, and guide the long-range transportation plan for North East Orange County. The goal was clear: improve conditions for people walking, biking, driving, and riding buses while ensuring that development aligned with community needs.
Through robust public engagement, NEOCATS worked to build a transportation system that supported both immediate improvements and long-term growth.
As times have changed, so has our mission. Today, NeoCats has transformed into a digital information platform serving a much broader audience. Our new focus is providing reliable news and updates on government-run schemes and financial support programs in countries like Canada and Australia.
We believe that just as communities once needed better connections through roads, today’s individuals and families need better connections to knowledge, benefits, and resources that directly affect their financial well-being.
At NeoCats, we cover:
- Canada: CRA tax benefits, CPP (Canada Pension Plan), OAS (Old Age Security), GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement), GST/HST Credits.
- Australia: Centrelink programs such as JobSeeker Payment, Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment, Age Pension, and Youth Allowance.
- Retirement benefits: Guidance on pensions, supplements, and financial security in later years.
- Stimulus and relief payments: Updates on cost-of-living support, tax credits, and government initiatives that ease financial challenges.
Our mission is to make complex policies simple. Many people miss out on crucial benefits due to confusing rules or lack of information. NeoCats exists to bridge that gap, offering clear, accurate, and accessible updates in one place.
We remain independent and unaffiliated—our site has no connection with government agencies or any old websites. Instead, NeoCats is a fresh initiative built solely for the benefit of its readers.
From a transportation study focused on physical mobility to a trusted platform guiding financial mobility, NeoCats continues its legacy of helping people move forward—whether on the roads of Orange County in the past or through life’s financial pathways today.elp you stay informed and empowered.
