Both my partner and I utilised it in 2016 and found it pretty straight forward. I wasn't aware it was still active so thought to share it.

What is Saver Plus
Saver Plus is a free ten-month program that provides financial education to help build essential skills for managing money and becoming a regular saver. Upon completion of the program, ANZ will match your savings, up to $500, which you can put toward education costs for you or your children.

Eligibility
You may be eligible to join Saver Plus if you:
- Are 18 years or over
- Have a child at school or attend vocational education yourself
- Have regular income from paid employment (you or your partner)
- Have a current Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card
- Are in receipt of an eligible Commonwealth social security benefit, allowance or payment. Many Centrelink payments are eligible, please contact your local Coordinator for more information.

Process

Step 1
Talk to a Saver Plus coordinator
Talk to a Saver Plus Coordinator to determine your eligibility. If eligible, set a goal to save a regular amount of money over 10 months.

Step 2
Open an ANZ Progress Saver account with $0 monthly service fee and make regular deposits over ten months towards your savings goal.

Step 3
Learn and share tips and strategies for budgeting and planning for the future by completing the MoneyMinded financial education program.

Step 4
At the end of the program and when you've reached your savings goal, your savings will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $500) to help pay for education costs for you or your child.

  Umm, thanks ANZ, but hard to meet the 5 point plan.
  I, like most people, might make 3 or 4 out of 5.
  Looks like a forum topic to me.

  Just wanted to clarify Saver Plus is an initiative of Brotherhood St Laurence and ANZ and delivered in partnership with Berry Street, The Smith Family, and other local community agencies – Bethany and Ballarat Group Training. The program is funded by ANZ and the Australian Department of Social Services.

  How much effort is required to complete the moneyminded financial program?

  • 

    SaverPlus on 31/07/2020 - 09:00

    Hi Toobzy - presently during COVID all participants are completing their MoneyMinded workshops online, which generally takes around 1.5-2 hours. Anyone can do these activities and they're great to do with the family :) www.moneyminded.com.au
    Our participants says the workshops are the best part of the program, its where they learn, share ideas and hone in on their budgeting and saving skills.

      Hi SaverPlus - I assume that you are associated? I have a question for you: I tried to signup along with my wife, but was told that only one of us was allowed to do the program, as there was a maximum of one adult per household that could be eligible. I haven't seen this condition on the website. Is this true?
