The Functional Family - Sharon Collon, ADHD Coach & Parenting Expert

The single highest-leverage money move I've ever made.

Most families have their Medicare rebate going into their everyday account. Which means when it arrives, it disappears, absorbed into groceries or petrol or whatever else.

Redirect it to a separate savings account. Doesn't matter which one, just not your everyday account.

Now every time you go to the GP, the OT, the psych, the paed, the rebate that lands a few days later goes into savings. You don't have to think about it. You don't have to budget for it. You just don't spend it.

For a family with ADHD who see specialists regularly, this single change can put $2,000 to $5,000 a year into a savings account you didn't know you had.

It takes five minutes to set up. Open the Medicare app. Tap your bank details. Update the account.

This is Day 2 of The Money Hunt. We do this together, with screens shared and a step-by-step walk-through, plus 15 other moves like it across the week.

Starts 29 June. $97. Comment HUNT for the link.

The first year I redirected our Medicare rebate to a separate savings account, I cried when I saw the balance.

I hadn't been tracking it. I hadn't been adding to it. I'd just set up the redirect and forgotten about it.

Nine months later, the account had over $3,800 in it.

Because between our three kids, the regular paediatrician check-ins, the OT, the psych, the GP visits when one of them got sick, the appointments stacked up. Every one of them generated a rebate. Every rebate landed in a separate account I wasn't watching.

I sat there with my husband and said I think we just accidentally saved $3,800 without trying.

That's the kind of move that changes how a family with ADHD operates. Not budgeting. Not restriction. Not willpower. Just one small structural change that does the work for you.

The Money Hunt is full of these. Five days, ten to fifteen moves like this, all designed to keep paying you back long after the event ends.

A client found $1,400 last week.

She wasn't trying. She was scrolling through her private health app while waiting in the car for school pick-up, and realised she had a balance she'd never used. Eighteen months of paid extras, sitting there.

She booked the dental appointments her family had been putting off. She submitted three Medicare claims she'd forgotten about. She rang her energy provider on the way home and they dropped her bill by $40 a month.

Total recovered in one school pick-up: $1,400, plus $480 in annual savings on the energy bill.

She told me afterwards she'd known about all of this. She just hadn't done it.

That's not laziness. That's an ADHD brain meeting an admin task with no built-in dopamine. The information was there. The action wasn't.

The Money Hunt gives you the action. Five days, one focused task at a time, with scripts and a bingo card and a running tally so the dopamine arrives early.

Let's address the three things you're probably thinking.

I built The Money Hunt for the version of me that always meant to sort out our subscriptions but never did, because ADHD brains and admin are a tough match without structure.

If something on this list is the reason you've been hovering, this one is for you.

Most Hunters cover the $97 cost by Day 2. If you do the work alongside me for five days, you will almost certainly walk away with more money than you started with.

Three things you can do this week, alone, that will probably find you a few hundred dollars.

These aren't life hacks. They're the basics that get skipped because ADHD brains find them boring.

The Money Hunt covers all of this and more, with scripts, accountability, and a bingo card to keep the momentum going. But if you want to start before we begin on 29 June, these three are your gateway drugs.

Save this post. Pick one. Do it tonight.

Quick reminder, in case you missed it this week.

The Money Hunt is a five-day live event for mums of families with ADHD who are tired of money quietly leaking out of the household.

Not a budgeting course. Not theory. Not another thing to add to the mental load.

Each day you get one focused 45-minute session, one bingo square to tick off, and a running tally of every dollar you find. Cancel subscriptions. Recover rebates. Renegotiate bills. Find hidden cash. Lock in systems that keep working.

Most Hunters cover the $97 cost by Day 2.

Monday 29 June to Friday 3 July, 1pm AEST daily.
