Saver Plus supports people on lower incomes to develop lifelong savings habits, gain financial skills and lighten the load of educational expenses.

The program is free, life-changing and participants who complete the program will get $500 for an educational item!

There are 3 Elements of Saver Plus:


  1. SAVING – You will work with a Savings Coach to work through your budget and develop a life-long savings habit

     

  2. MONEY MINDED WORKSHOPS - Fun workshops where participants build on their money management skills and we share lots of resources. These are held on Zoom and have never been more flexible to attend. 5 X 2 hour workshops, each with a different theme. 

     

  3. CLAIMING - ANZ bank will match what participants save up to $50 a month to a total of $500 over 10 months. On the 11th month of the program participants claim their matched funding. This money is to be used on an educational tool such as a laptop or school camp for a child.
