2027 Financial Literacy in Action Awards - opening in Term 4!
Each year, as part of Global Money Week, we offer the Talk Money Financial Literacy in Action Awards. These awards encourage students to become the creators, not just the consumers, of financial information by creating an artifact that will help other young people learn about a financial skill.
Submissions are invited from students from all year levels and across learning areas. Students of all year levels could win up to $1,000 in cash prizes plus $250 for your school! We are also offering prizes for learners of diverse learning abilities and perspectives. Enter here from Term 4.
Term 4 roadshow update
Each year, our team of expert facilitators travel across the country to deliver interactive, in-person workshops to schools in rural and regional communities. Our range of free and engaging workshops are designed specifically for primary and secondary students of all backgrounds and life stages, teaching practical money lessons for life.
In Term 4 we are travelling to Bathurst, Orange, Gosford and Wyong in NSW, Ballarat and Shepparton in VIC, and Albany in WA. You can check out when Talk Money will be in your region here.
Finance fact sheets & teacher resources
Our finance fact sheets are free resources that help teachers and parents guide students through important money lessons.
The rapid increase and easy access to online gambling in Australia has magnified potential harms, especially for young people. Talk Money has produced a gambling fact sheet for educators, students and families that explains the issues, the risks related to gambling and provides practical strategies and ideas to address these harms.
Browse all of our free resources including posters, worksheets and helpful external websites, all designed to help teach young people about money.
