Build Real Money Skills That Actually Stick

Learning about money doesn't have to feel like homework. We work with people across Australia who want to understand their finances better—not through lectures, but through practical group sessions where everyone learns together.

See What We Teach

You'll Learn Alongside Others Who Get It

Nobody wants to be the only person in a room asking basic questions about budgeting or superannuation. That's why our sessions bring together small groups of people who are in similar situations—whether that's navigating first jobs, managing family finances, or planning for retirement.

The conversations that happen between participants often teach more than any textbook could. Someone shares how they negotiated a better phone plan, another explains their approach to tracking expenses. These real stories make abstract financial concepts actually make sense.

What You'll Actually Cover

1

Daily Money Decisions

The small choices that add up. How to spot where your money goes each week and make adjustments that don't feel like deprivation.

2

Planning Without Panic

Building buffers for unexpected costs, setting aside money for future goals, and knowing what to prioritize when everything feels urgent.

3

Understanding Your Options

Making sense of bank accounts, credit products, and super funds so you can ask better questions and spot what matters in the fine print.

Why This Approach Works

1People Stay Engaged

When you're part of a conversation instead of sitting through a presentation, the time goes faster and the information sticks better. You'll remember what Carissa said about comparing insurance quotes more than you'd remember a slide about it.

2Questions Get Real Answers

Not the vague "it depends" you get from generic financial advice articles. Our facilitators have worked with hundreds of people and can address the specific situations that come up in your group.

3You Build Useful Connections

The people you meet in these sessions often become accountability partners or just folks you can text when you have a quick money question. That ongoing support matters more than any single workshop.

4Content Stays Practical

Everything we cover connects to decisions you'll make in the next few months. We skip theoretical frameworks in favor of tools you can use right away.

Starting Out Right

Tallinn joined our autumn 2025 program after landing her first full-time role. She walked in thinking she just needed a budget template but left understanding how to negotiate better rates, where to put emergency savings, and which super fund features actually mattered for someone in their twenties.

Getting Back On Track

Anouk came to us after a rough financial patch—medical bills plus reduced work hours. Rather than generic debt advice, we helped her map out a realistic recovery plan that accounted for her actual living costs and built in small wins to keep momentum going.

Next Sessions Start September 2025

We run eight-week programs with groups of 12-15 participants. Evening and weekend options available in Canberra and online throughout NSW.
