The Department of Human Services (DHS) helps South Australians to be financially stable, through the Financial Wellbeing Program (FWP).
The program was developed in partnership with the Flinders University Centre for Social Impact (CSI), who consulted extensively with the sector through four interactive workshops, to understand what improvements could be made to help people facing financial insecurity.
The Centre wrote a briefing paper based on the findings of the consultation, which led to the design of the Financial Wellbeing Program, and its launch in July 2023.
The Briefing Paper is available to download in accessible format and gives a summary of what was discussed at the consultations, and recommendations for programs to support financial wellbeing for South Australians.
