A Financial Literacy Program Built Around Real Life
Our online money skills course helps people with disability build real-world financial confidence. Lessons are interactive, easy to follow, and designed to be completed from home - at your own pace, anywhere in Australia.
You can learn on your own, or with the people who already support you - a support worker, family member or friend. We provide a facilitator guide so the person helping you knows exactly how to support your learning. There are no marks and no pressure. Every lesson explains things warmly, step by step.

Learn how to make a simple budget that works for your life. Plan your weekly spending, keep track of bills, and know where your money goes.
Safe Spending
Build confidence with everyday spending - shopping, paying bills, and using cards and digital wallets safely.
Scam Awareness
Learn how to spot and avoid common scams in Australia, protect your personal details, and know what to do if something feels wrong.
Saving for Goals
Set a savings goal, make a plan, and track your progress - whether it is for something small or a big life goal.

Understand where your money comes from, including payments and wages, so you can plan ahead with confidence.

About Us
A Social Enterprise on a Mission
Daniel Ross, a former Financial Counsellor from the Wimmera in regional Victoria, founded Financial Literacy Australia after seeing the severe impact of financial hardship on individuals and communities.
Financial Literacy Australia’s mission is to empower people with disability across Australia with the money skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to live independently.
Financial Literacy Australia was founded in response to the severe impact of financial hardship in underserved regional and remote areas. We strive to ensure that every Australian with a disability has equal access to financial education and support to reduce or eliminate financial hardship and financial abuse.
