Welcome to Learn and Rise : Financial Literacy Training

Support Your First Nations Workforce with Learn & Rise Financial Literacy Training

Learn & Rise offers practical, non-accredited, fee-for-service financial literacy training to organisations across Australia. With over 20 years of experience delivering financial literacy education in remote First Nations communities. All sessions are led by qualified financial counsellors, trainers, and assessors.

We understand the importance of face-to-face learning, particularly in remote and regional communities, and we are committed to travelling to where your organisation and staff are located to deliver personalised, in-community training across Australia.

Our sessions are specifically designed to build confidence and competence in everyday financial skills, catering to individuals with varying levels of English literacy and numeracy. By creating a safe and inclusive learning environment, we empower participants to take control of their financial futures.

Organisations that invest in financial literacy for their First Nations staff are not only supporting individual empowerment but also increasing their ability to retain staff over the long term. Strengthening financial capability is a key contributor to stability, wellbeing, and job satisfaction—critical factors in workforce retention.

Training topics can include:

Understanding payslips and taxation

Salary sacrifice and superannuation

Gambling awareness

Financial abuse (humbug)

Budgeting (personal, family, and household)

Shopping and cooking on a budget

Energy and utility awareness

Buy now, pay later services

Avoiding payday lenders

The pros and cons of working versus Centrelink

Understanding why car insurance and registration are important

Understanding Scams

Goal setting and savings

 

The training is flexible and adaptable, including the option to tailor content using your organisation’s documentation (e.g. sample payslips) to ensure maximum relevance and engagement. We can deliver sessions in traditional classrooms or informal outdoor settings—whatever works best for your team.

 

Workshops are designed for small groups (up to 10 participants), promoting interactive, practical, and supportive learning experiences.
