Saver Plus from Brotherhood of St Laurence

What is Saver Plus ?

It’s a free financial education program funded by the Federal Government and Department of Social Services, that helps parents and carers on lower incomes to build financial skills while saving for school-related costs.

Families who join not only receive up to $500 in matched savings, but they also gain practical money skills through free financial education workshops, helping them feel more in control of their finances.

With the rising cost of living, many families are feeling the pressure—especially when it comes to covering education related expenses like books, uniforms, laptops, I pads  or excursions. This is where Saver Plus can be a real blessing.

Eligibility includes:

• Having a Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card
• Having a child in school (or starting next year), or studying themselves
• Having a regular income (from work, partner, or Centrelink payments)
