Saver Plus Program

Melbourne School introduces Saver Plus Program in Frankston, for all your education and learning needs.

Earn $500 to assist with education expenses Would an extra $500 help cover your education costs? Saver Plus is a nationally-recognised program that helps people to save for education. It is an initiative of the Brotherhood of St Laurence and ANZ and is delivered in partnership with Berry Street, The Benevolent Society and The Smith Family and other local community agencies. ANZ rewards participants with one dollar for every one dollar they save (up to $500). By joining Saver Plus you could receive $500 to help pay for school items including computers, books and uniforms. The program is Australia's first financial education and matched savings program and was designed to help families achieve a savings goal, establish a long-term saving habit and pay for education. Participants attend 10 hours of Money Minded financial workshops which help with finding spending leaks and better understanding their finances. Saver Plus works by: â?¢ providing financial education training â?¢ offering personal financial coaching support, and â?¢ matching every dollar participants save with an additional dollar (up to $500). To be eligible you must: â?¢ be a parent or guardian of a student attending school, or be intending to attend accredited vocational training yourself â?¢ have a current health care card or pension card, and â?¢ have some income from paid employment. Saver Plus is giving families a brighter future by providing an incentive to save for education.
