Financial Literacy Through Real Connection

Money conversations don't have to feel awkward or overwhelming. Our programs bring people together to talk honestly about budgets, savings, and financial goals—because learning works better when you're not doing it alone.

Learning That Actually Sticks

Here's what we've noticed after running these programs since 2019: people remember financial concepts way better when they're discussing them with peers rather than just listening to lectures. Someone shares their mortgage stress, another person mentions their side-hustle strategy, and suddenly everyone's taking notes.

Small Group Sessions

We cap groups at twelve people because that's where conversations stay productive without anyone getting lost in the background.

Peer Support Networks

Most participants stay connected after programs end. That accountability partner who checks in about your emergency fund? Worth their weight in gold.

Real Case Discussions

We work through actual financial situations (anonymized, of course) because theoretical scenarios only get you so far.

Collaborative Projects

Teams build household budgets, compare superannuation strategies, and analyse spending patterns together—skills you'll use the following week.

What We Cover

Three focused programs that address the financial questions we hear most often from Australian households.

Budget Foundations

Eight weeks starting October 2025. Perfect if you're tired of wondering where your money disappears each fortnight.

  • Track spending without spreadsheet nightmares
  • Set realistic savings targets
  • Handle irregular expenses
  • Build an emergency buffer that works

Debt Navigation

Ten weeks beginning February 2026. For anyone juggling multiple debts and wanting a clearer path forward.

  • Understand interest rate impacts
  • Create payoff strategies
  • Negotiate with lenders
  • Avoid common refinancing mistakes

Investment Basics

Twelve weeks from September 2025. Starting small with shares or super doesn't require a finance degree—just clear information.

  • Demystify investment options
  • Understand risk versus return
  • Compare platforms and fees
  • Build diversified portfolios

Who You'll Learn With
