Saver Plus: A Decade of Impact

This report presents an opportunity to acknowledge the many people involved in Saver Plus over a decade of impact - from participants in all parts of Australia, to the many people working in local community organisations to deliver the program, to supporters and partners in the business, community and government sectors. The contributions have been many, varied and extensive, and we thank everyone who has been involved in what has become one of the world's longest running and most successful matched savings programs. ANZ and Brotherhood of St Laurence would like to particularly acknowledge RMIT University for its pivotal role as research partner since the very first pilot program in 2004. This work has enabled the Saver Plus partners, along with many other stakeholders in Australia and around the world, to learn a great deal about effective ways to support people to improve their financial literacy and build a lasting savings habit and assets for the future. Specific findings from the current phase of the program are outlined in the companion report Evaluation of Saver Plus Phase 5: 2011 to 2014.
