Ecstra Foundation is a not for profit organisation committed to building the financial capability and wellbeing of Australians within a fair financial system.

We work with partners to ensure that more Australians are confident making money decisions today and are planning for the future.

Talk Money with Ecstra Foundation offers facilitator led workshops for Years 5-10 students and additional resources to reinforce learning and key concepts in class and at home. The program is provided at no cost to schools, enabling more students across Australia to access financial education at key life stages.

We recently launched our 2022 Financial Education in Schools Impact Report, which shares key highlights and insights from the program’s first year. The data shows that Talk Money has made an immediate and positive impact on the financial literacy, knowledge and confidence of over 100,000 school students across Australia. As at June 2023 over 170,000 student bookings were confirmed, an outstanding result for a new program.
