Saver Plus

A new school year can be a financially stressful time for families. 

Saver Plus is here to help! Starting Saver Plus in February or March means $500 in matched savings will be available for 2022 school costs. It’s a great way for families to prepare for next year’s Back to School costs ahead of time.

A mother of three who lives in Mildura recently completed the Saver Plus program and said

“It made a huge difference and meant we were able to purchase new uniforms and school supplies for our three school aged children. It also made us realise we could save and we have started a new savings account for a family holiday.”

Saver Plus is celebrating its 18th year of providing support to families in our local community. 

We continue to deliver an award-winning adult financial education, savings and matched funds program. We also were recently featured on Channel 9’s the Today Show as well as Services Australia’s Facebook page for families.

Saver Plus makes a difference in people’s lives.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, I’m here to help 😊
