Financial Literacy Foundation launches booklet for indigenous Australians
The Financial Literacy Foundation has launched its first booklet aimed at improving indigenous financial literacy programs.
Chairman Paul Clitheroe launched the booklet Understanding Money: Good practice in developing financial literacy initiatives with Indigenous Australians in Cairns yesterday.
He described the booklet as the first tailor-made guide for people who develop and deliver financial literacy initiatives with indigenous Australians.
“It’s really important that indigenous Australians get the chance to learn about money management in a way where they share ownership of the process and come up with approaches that work best for them.”
The booklet outlines good practice principles for financial literacy initiatives and for the first time compiles details of financial literacy programs, resources and consumer assistance contacts currently available to assist indigenous Australians.
A copy of the booklet is available by phoning the foundation on (02) 6263 2111 or at www.understandingmoney.gov.au/content/education/indigenous.
