Empowering Young Australians
through the gift of financial literacy
We make decisions every day that involve money or have financial consequences, yet research has shown that many Australians lack essential knowledge and skills in this area.
Equip your kids good financial habits that will last a lifetime with our Rise High Rookies program!
Positive financial decision making can feed back into the emotional and mental wellbeing of a person.
Our Rise High Rookies program provides students with the financial knowledge they need to make wise decisions from the outset, avoiding mistakes that could leave lasting marks on their finances, credit rating and future lives.
In an ever-changing and complex world, it is important for individuals to be financially literate. That is, the ability to understand the value of money, how to make and manage it, and how to create more wealth.
