StartSmart

Lose the ‘L’ plates when it comes to money

The StartSmart programs ensure the Commonwealth Bank Foundation communicates to young people in a way they understand and that engages them in an interactive, engaging and fun learning experience.

StartSmart programs are high energy and educational and are designed to ensure that young people walk away with new skills in money management. In 2007 StartSmart reached over 30,000 students and their teachers right across Australia and this year even more people are experiencing a StartSmart program.

StartSmart Workshops
