The Australian Securities and Investment Commission has launched the National Financial Literacy Strategy, designed to deliver quality financial literacy education to all Australians through schools, workplaces, higher education institutions and in the community.

 

The strategy has 3 key objectives:

  1. Providing all Australians with access to the information and tools they need to make good financial choices;
  2. Going beyond education to guidance and other strategies to enhance the financial well being of Australians, including developing a new consumer website; and
  3. Developing partnerships between the various sectors involved in financial literacy work, and better means of measuring the impact of what we do.
