We exist to help participants...
… through a tailored budgeting program — designed specifically for people with disability
The Budgeting Skills Program helps participants create and manage budgets by allocating funds into different wallets for specific needs, ensuring controlled spending with custom rules. It provides real-time expense tracking, allowing participants to monitor transactions and make informed financial decisions. The program also enhances financial independence by offering a secure payment system that eliminates risks associated with handling cash or sharing account details.
If you only use cash, this program can help you:
— Assess where you might be at risk and implement strategies to mitigate this
— Equip you with the skills to use a debit card/make digital payments for times where cash isn't accepted
— Develop strategies so your support network can best support your circumstances
The SpendAble budgeting program is free!
If you wish to access more personalised budgeting support, there is the option to receive 1:1 support from a SpendAble facilitator. These hours are NDIS funded via Skill Development And Training (15_037_0117_1_3).
You can access as many or as little hours of extra support as you need, otherwise, you can complete the program by yourself for free!
SpendAble's budgeting program has been built by participants, for participants. Our program is designed to support participants who want to build their skills to handle their own money, or those that need support from others to pay.
Accessing the program is free! So give it a try and see what you think.
If your support network (parent, guardian, provider, support worker) do all your spending for you, this program can:
— Help identify where you may be at risk, and implement strategies to reduce your risks
— Provide greater transparency over how and where your money is used for your peace of mind
— Equip you with the information and tools to review spending done on your behalf
— Equip you with the skills to make more transactions yourself more independently, if that is a goal of yours
If you do opt in for some 1:1 support hours to assist you to complete the budgeting program, these sessions are completed online via video conference (Zoom, Google Meet etc.).
