How much does it cost?

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!

How do I know this will work for me?

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.

My support worker does all my spending for me, can this program work for me?

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

I want 1:1 budgeting support. Where are the sessions held?

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.).
