Financial wellbeing - Tips & tools to improve yours

What is financial wellbeing?

Financial wellbeing is the ability to meet your financial commitments and have the freedom to make choices about your life.

Through a research partnership with the University of Melbourne we have defined financial wellbeing as being able to:

Meet your day to day financial commitments - being able to pay bills and expenses
Be in control of your finances e.g. avoid unnecessary fees and charges

Make financial choices that allow you to enjoy life like going on holidays
Feel secure about your future - being able to make choices that allow you to put away money for the future

What is your financial wellbeing?

Knowing your financial wellbeing score means you can take steps to improve it. We've designed a simple tool to help you understand:

How well you're managing your everyday expenses
Whether you're in a strong position to deal with unexpected financial emergencies
If you're doing enough to set yourself up for the future

The 10 simple questions get you thinking about your recent and past financial experiences about financial freedom, choice, control and how you would respond to those experiences if you were financially challenged.

At the end, you'll get a financial wellbeing score of between 1 and 100. This will help you to understand your current financial wellbeing.

You'll also find simple tips and other handy tools to help improve your financial wellbeing regardless of your score.

The financial wellbeing tool is designed for people over the age of 18. Your responses and results are anonymous and will be used for research and statistical purposes only.
