Master Your Money Through Real-World Learning
Join our comprehensive 12-month household budgeting program starting September 2025. Learn practical financial management skills through hands-on workshops, real case studies, and ongoing mentorship from Australian financial educators.
Your Journey to Financial Confidence
We've structured our enrollment and learning process to give you the best chance of success. Here's exactly what happens from application to graduation.
Application & Assessment
Submit your application with a brief overview of your current financial goals. No previous experience required — we're looking for commitment to learning. Applications are reviewed within two weeks, and we'll schedule a friendly 30-minute chat to discuss your objectives.
Pre-Program Foundation
Once accepted, you'll receive our starter materials and access to basic budgeting tools. This four-month preparation period includes monthly webinars and optional reading materials. You'll also connect with your cohort through our online community platform.
Program Launch
The intensive learning begins with a weekend workshop in Melbourne. You'll meet your instructor and fellow participants, set up your personal budget framework, and establish your monthly learning goals. All materials and lunch are included.
Monthly Learning Cycles
Each month focuses on a specific aspect of household budgeting — from tracking expenses to planning for major purchases. You'll attend bi-weekly online sessions and complete practical exercises using your own financial situation (with full privacy protection).
Learn by Doing, Not Just Reading
Our program moves beyond theoretical concepts. You'll work with real budgets, tackle actual financial challenges, and build skills that stick. Each month builds on the previous, creating a comprehensive understanding of household financial management.
Classes are small — maximum 15 participants — so you get individual attention. Most sessions include practical exercises where you apply new concepts to your own situation with guidance from experienced instructors.
