Saver Plus Initiative : get up to $500 to help with education expenses

Saver Plus is a free 10-month financial education and matched savings program. It helps people develop savings and money management skills, while saving for their children’s or their own education. Any families who have accessed the Camps, Sports and Excursions fund would be eligible for the program.

The Saver Plus program in combination with the School Saving Bonus can provide up to $900 for parents to use towards their children's education costs. 

If parents commit to saving up to $50 a month for 10 months, ANZ will match it with up to $500. Participants can put that money towards education costs for themselves or their children.  For more information see the Berry Street website or flyer below.

Saver Plus was developed by ANZ and Brotherhood of St Laurence, Berry Street is proud to be the delivering partner for the Saver Plus program in your local area. The program is funded by ANZ and the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
