"The evolution of Australian society and the Australian financial system have made financial literacy a necessary and critical skill for consumers and investors."
The growing range of financial products available, changes in demography, and increases in consumer responsibility for superannuation decisions and retirement incomes have all increased the importance of having sound financial literacy
skills – but we don't learn about managing your finances in high school schools or in universities or workplaces.
Your Financial Wellness has been specifically designed to help Australian individuals and households make more informed decisions relating to events that affect our financial future by helping them better manage their personal finances, achieve financial security and generate wealth.
