MoneyMinded
About the program
Developed by ANZ, MoneyMinded is an adult financial education program designed to help people make informed decisions about their money. The program can build confidence and enable participants to have more control over their finances.
MoneyMinded transforms ‘finance’ from something complicated and overwhelming into a tool that is understandable and manageable. The program offers a toolkit of 19 workshops ranging from basic budgeting, goal setting and saving, to more complex issues such as dealing with debt and consumer rights and responsibilities. Facilitators and participants can pick and choose workshops most relevant to an individual's or group's particular needs and interests.
MoneyMinded was developed following the ANZ Survey of Adult Financial Literacy in Australia (May 2003), which identified a strong link between socioeconomic status and financial capability levels.

Who can participate?
MoneyMinded is a free resource for community workers that want to gain access to financial information and tools to help their clients. Community workers can then deliver training sessions to groups or use the resources in casework activities.
Features
The Brotherhood is currently offering two streams of training for community workers:
Facilitator training (‘Train the trainer’)
Facilitator training is designed for community workers interested in using the MoneyMinded resource with their clients. This comprehensive three-day training course is required for those wishing to facilitate MoneyMinded sessions, and provides the skills needed to run interactive sessions on a broad range of financial topics. Facilitator training is run on alternate months in Fitzroy and Frankston and is free to community workers.
Tailored Training
Tailored training is delivered to the clients of community workers, focusing on certain financial topics drawn from the MoneyMinded materials. The aim of this particular training is to develop and deliver specific workshops that meet the financial education needs of the group such as budgeting and understanding debt.
