Financial Stability Through Practical Learning
We've designed our program around how people actually learn to manage money. Not through theory alone, but through hands-on work with real scenarios and ongoing support from analysts who've helped hundreds of Australian households build stronger financial foundations.
Learning That Fits Your Schedule and Style
Most people don't have months to dedicate to financial education. That's why we built multiple paths through the same material. Some participants prefer weekly live sessions with our analysts. Others work through modules at odd hours between shifts or after the kids are asleep.
What matters is that you're working with actual financial data and real household scenarios throughout. We've found that people remember techniques when they've practiced them, not just watched someone else demonstrate.
Live Analysis Sessions
Weekly workshops where we work through current financial challenges together. August 2025 intake opens in May.
Self-Paced Modules
Complete coursework on your schedule with access to recorded sessions and written materials.
One-on-One Reviews
Monthly check-ins with an analyst to review your specific financial situation and progress.
Community Practice
Peer groups where participants share approaches and work through exercises collaboratively.

Real Projects From Past Participants
Each participant works through a major analysis project during the program. These aren't hypothetical exercises. They're real financial reviews that helped actual households make informed decisions.
First Home Purchase Analysis
A couple in their early thirties needed to understand if they could afford a home in outer Canberra while maintaining their current lifestyle. The participant created a comprehensive budget analysis that included mortgage calculations, ongoing costs, and a five-year savings projection.
What They LearnedHow to build realistic long-term projections and identify which lifestyle adjustments would have the biggest impact on their timeline.
Debt Consolidation Review
An analysis of whether consolidating multiple credit cards and a car loan into a single personal loan would actually improve cash flow for a family of four. Required comparing interest calculations and modeling different repayment scenarios.
Key TakeawayThe mathematics of debt consolidation and how to evaluate whether lower monthly payments are worth extended repayment periods.
Self-Employment Income Planning
A participant created a cash flow management system for a contractor with highly variable monthly income. The project included building an emergency fund strategy and setting up a system to smooth out irregular earnings.
Practical ApplicationHow to create financial stability when income fluctuates and the importance of separating business and personal finances clearly.
