The results are in! 🎉 Following our first FIT Solutions feedback survey, one student told us: “I now feel confident, prepared, positive, secure and knowledgeable in my future budgeting and finances.”

This is exactly why practical financial literacy belongs in every classroom. One school surveyed, only 86 more to go! 💙

Last night in Canberra was a pretty special one for financial literacy.

We had the privilege of attending the launch of Friends of Financial Literacy, and it was fantastic to see people from across finance, education, industry and government coming together around something I believe passionately in: Financial literacy is life education.

A huge thank you to Naveen Ahluwalia and Anja Pannek for the invitation, and to the MFAA - Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) for helping bring this important conversation into the room.

I also had the opportunity to meet with Senator Richard Dowling and talk about the work we are doing through Financial Literacy Education (FLE) and our FIT Solutions program.

We spoke about something very close to our hearts, getting practical financial education to young Australians before they enter the financial system, rather than waiting until they experience the consequences of decisions they may never have been taught to understand.

Through FIT Solutions, we are taking practical financial education directly into Australian schools, covering budgeting, savings and interest, credit reporting, mortgages and superannuation.

And we are doing it at a scale that is growing rapidly.

We now have 87 schools booked nationally, around 100 educators and a significant waitlist for 2027.

The opportunity ahead is enormous.

But nights like last night remind us that this isn't just about one program or one organisation.

It's about building a financially capable Australia, where young people have the knowledge, confidence and skills to make informed decisions about their future.

There is so much more work to do, and I’m excited to be part of the conversation.

Thank you again to everyone involved in bringing the financial literacy community together in Canberra. 💙

What if we taught financial literacy before students actually needed it?

By Year 10, students are already making financial decisions, or are very close to making them.

Their first phone plan.

Their first job.

Their first savings goal.

Their first experience with interest.

Their first exposure to credit.

But how many young people genuinely understand what those decisions can mean for their future?

That’s why we created FIT Solutions.

Our free Year 10 financial literacy program gives students practical, age-appropriate knowledge across:

💰 Budgeting

💰 Savings & interest

📊 Credit reporting

🏠 Mortgages

💼 Superannuation

And importantly, it’s designed as education, not financial advice.

We want students leaving the classroom feeling more confident, asking better questions and understanding that the financial choices they make today can influence the opportunities available to them tomorrow.

For teachers, it’s about giving students something they can take beyond the classroom and into real life.

Because financial literacy isn't just another subject to tick off.

It is a life skill.

FIT Solutions is delivered free to Australian schools.

If you're a teacher, careers adviser, wellbeing leader or school leader and you'd like to find out more, we'd love to hear from you.

Credit education is life education.

Long before a young person applies for a home loan, they may already have used buy now, pay later, signed a phone contract, applied for credit or made decisions that affect their financial future.

We cannot expect young Australians to make informed choices if nobody has explained how the system works.

Credit education is not about encouraging young people to borrow. It is about teaching them how to:

• understand the true cost of credit
• recognise how financial decisions can affect their credit report
• ask better questions before signing an agreement
• protect their future borrowing opportunities
• recover and move forward when something goes wrong

Through the FIT Solutions financial literacy program, Year 10 students are learning these lessons before the consequences become real.

Because when we give young people knowledge today, we give them the power to make better choices tomorrow.

FIT Solutions is delivered free to Australian schools by Financial Literacy Education.

We had an amazing time at the SFG EmpowHER retreat this weekend with Ann-Maree Lockett and 10 other amazing ladies in finance. To reset and reframe your wellbeing and hone in your leadership skills is so important, when we are so busy and usually put ourselves last. Well done Ann-Maree! It was just brilliant!

👉 Turning 'unsure' into 'I love it' 💞 Amazing feedback from our first student survey for 2026 - all boys school, Year 9, smaller group of 30 students. Whilst we will go and teach Year 10 the full program later this year, we just did the budgeting session with the Year 9 cohort. We asked the students how they felt about budgeting and finance before the session and how they feel now they've completed the session. Another group of young men now confident about budgeting, which is just the very start. Email [email protected]. au for more information
