First Nations Foundation would like to announce the launch of our Financial Wellness Week. The community outreach initiative aims to provide Indigenous Australians with a holistic financial wellbeing service and will take place from April – October 2023, visiting communities in NSW, QLD, WA & NT.
This fantastic community initiative will kick off in Western Sydney in April 2023, before visiting Kununurra, Thursday Island, Townsville & Palm Island, and Dubbo.
You may be familiar with our Big Super Day Out events, which concluded in 2019, where we helped reconnect $24 million in superannuation with 1600+ people across 21 Indigenous communities nationally. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we had to stop this outreach, however it gave us a valuable opportunity to revaluate the effectiveness of this model and how we can have greater impact going forward.
The Financial Wellness Week event is a one-stop shop, helping First Australians with all financial wellbeing needs across urban, regional and remote communities. The purpose of the initiative is to connect local service providers, including financial counsellors, government agencies, banking, superannuation and insurance providers, with Indigenous community members.
