Generally, at this time of year, families enrol students to start school next year or move into the next stage of schooling. While it is an exciting time for young people and their parents/carers, the Saver Plus program is here to support your school community with some of the costs involved. 

The Saver Plus flyer is great for emailing to new parents/carers or including in info packs.

The program is open to eligible parents/carers all year, but we find it’s when these larger costs “Come up" that families start reaching out for support.

 To join Saver Plus, you need to meet these requirements:

• Be 18 years or older
• Have a current Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card
• Have a child in school, starting next year, or be studying 
• yourself
• Get a regular income (can be you or your partner in paid work or child support/carers' payment)
• Agree to join in free online financial education workshops

What are the eligible savings goals?

Eligible savings goals are education-related products or services that:​

 Assist a primary/secondary school student’s education.
