Student reviewing a Financial Literacy Education worksheet covering savings, credit and deposit planning
01Why this matters

Why this matters to HAS

For over 10 years, we've watched people come up against the same barrier when trying to buy a home: not a lack of ambition, but a lack of early knowledge about money, credit and how the system actually works.

Financial Literacy Education is a natural extension of that experience. Rather than only stepping in once someone is ready to buy, we want to help the next generation build the right knowledge and confidence much earlier.

From industry experience to student education

Financial Literacy Education was co-founded by HAS CEO Beth Comino and Victoria Coster of Credit Fix Solutions. Drawing on real experience in home affordability, credit reporting and finance access, the program explains the key concepts young people need before adulthood across five core areas, in plain, practical language.

Budgeting

Understanding income, spending and how to plan ahead

Saving and interest

How savings grow, and how interest works for and against you

Credit

What a credit score is and why it matters

Loans and home buying

The basics of borrowing and what it takes to buy property

Superannuation

Why super matters, even before your first job
