An upcoming free webinar will explore a series of new financial literacy resources for NDIS self-managers.

These practical and accessible tools will help self-managers develop their confidence in financial literacy.

At a free webinar next week, attendees will see a live demonstration and learn how these resources can help NDIS participants, families, and support workers, as well as why financial literacy is so important.

The webinar will also feature a Q and A session, so participants can ask any questions that might pop into their heads.

Register here for the webinar.

Why is financial literacy important?

According to the Reserve Bank of Australia, “an economically literate populace makes more informed economic choices and better understands the world around them”.

Financial literacy can help with important everyday activities, like paying off debts and saving for a big goal like a holiday or even retirement.

Being confident in their finances can help NDIS self-managers with allocating their funds and understanding what to spend their plans on – and potentially help them to know how to avoid any scams.
