Get Money Smart
Kickstart your future at Georges River Youth Festival 2026 with this hands-on financial literacy workshop designed to help young people take control of their money with confidence. Delivered in partnership with UNSW Business School and UNOVA, and led by Dr Natalie Oh, the session goes beyond basic budgeting - exploring real-life money decisions, saving habits, and how to align finances with your goals and lifestyle.
Through interactive activities and expert guidance, you’ll build practical skills, develop smarter financial habits, and gain the confidence to make informed decisions - setting yourself up for long-term financial independence.
