We’re excited to share that the Saver Plus program is now available to families at your school. Previously limited to select areas, recent changes mean we can now offer this government-funded initiative to eligible families in your community.

Saver Plus is a free matched savings and financial education program designed to support families on a low income. Participants can receive up to $500 to help cover educational expenses.

Program Highlights:

• Matched Savings: Participants who save regularly over 10 months will have their savings matched by ANZ, up to $500.
• Education Support: Funds can be used for a wide range of educational costs, including uniforms, books, laptops, camps, and excursions.
• Financial Education: Participants join MoneyMinded workshops to build lasting budgeting and savings skills.
•
