Talk Money with Ecstra Foundation is provided at no cost to schools, enabling more school students to access financial education and learn key money skills for life.

The Talk Money program has no commercial links or sponsorships. It is funded by Ecstra Foundation, a grant making charitable foundation.

The Talk Money facilitation team are a diverse group of trained facilitators from different backgrounds and life experiences. They are located across Australia and deliver in person and virtual workshops. They all share a commitment to ensuring financial education is accessible and relevant for the schools they are fortunate to work with. You can learn more about the team here.

The Talk Money program is observing the guidelines provided by each state and territory government. Facilitators are required to be fully vaccinated in line with specific state and territory requirements and follow any state directives for visitors operating in school environments. Where in school workshops are not possible due to restrictions, live virtual sessions are offered.

Talk Money workshops are being piloted in Term 1, 2022 virtually as schools continue to face uncertainties due to COVID. The Talk Money team will be booking workshops for schools throughout 2022 with in person and virtual options so please register your school here.

We recommend Workshop B is delivered up to a week after students have participated in Workshop A. If you have specific requirements, simply get in touch with the Talk Money team here.

We would recommend registering for both Workshop A and Workshop B to achieve the identified learning outcomes of the workshops.

The resources page provides resources that can be delivered by teachers between the delivery of Workshop A and Workshop B. These are designed to complement the facilitator workshops. Additional resources will be added based on feedback and following the pilot sessions. Refer to the Resources page on this website.

You can register your school here. We take advance bookings for the following calendar year as well so you can plan ahead and ensure our workshops fit in with your school and class planning .

Simply call or email the Talk Money team.  We will help answer any questions you may have and can provide you with more information. Please get in touch with the Talk Money team here.
