The 4th Financial Inclusion Conference - Roads to Reslience, hosted by NSW Financial Inclusion Network, in partnership with Northern Rivers Community Gateway and Centre for Social Impact, will be held in Sydney 18 + 19 March 2020.Belonging to modern day financial systems is still a reach for too many Australians. 17% of Australians are considered financially excluded. 1 in 5 cannot raise $2,000 in an emergency and sadly 1 in 6 report difficutlies in covering everyday expenses such as housing, food, utilities and education. Now is the time to expand the conversation about financial inclusion and to shape policies that steer Australia in the direction of better financial health.
For these reasons, the NSW Financial Inclusion Network formed in 2015 as a social policy think tank, engaging the community sector, government and peak organisations for the purpose of working towards a more financially inclusive future for NSW.
Conference theme – Roads to Resilience
There is growning evidence that financial resilience is an important layer for achieving financial inclusion. This conference aims to take a deep dive into financial resilience and explore the various roads to it. Accordingly, conference content will centre around the building blocks of financial resilience, those being:
Economic resources
Financial products and services
Finance knowledge and behaviour
Social captial
The conference will deepen conversations around these central themes, the development of innovation programs and service delivery. It will showcase current research, findings and celebrate the person-centred approach of NGOs, government initiatives and highlight perceived funding gaps in this sector.
Who should attend?
This conference will provide a thought provoking opportunity for researchers, policy makers, students, regulators, advocates, executives, managers and front-line staff working in the NGO sector to address the needs of Australia’s most financially vulnerable people, as well as managers and executives working in the finance, energy and telco industries.
