Becoming scam savvy: our new workshop

Becoming scam savvy is a new, free financial education workshop from Talk Money that launched in Term 3, designed to help high school students recognise common scam red flags and learn how to stay safe online. With teens spending more time online and feeling confident with technology, they’re increasingly vulnerable – Australians under 18 lost over $236,000 to scams in 2024 alone.

 

This engaging, curriculum-aligned workshop is suitable for Years 7-10 and delivered by expert facilitators in a single 45-60 minute session. Register your school here.

From starting a job and buying property to protecting against theft and scams, these downloadable resources cover a wide range of topics. We recently launched our 'Teens and financial admin' fact sheet which provides lots of information for setting up government related accounts.
