Hosted by UTS Multicultural Women's Network and Women in Engineering and IT, this hybrid workshop aims to encourage you to better invest in yourself by understanding our behaviours and biases towards consuming, saving, and investing. By applying the "SAFE" steps—Spending Wisely, Assessing credit and debt, Future planning, and Ensuring security—you will gain practical insights and strategies to manage your finances effectively and work towards your financial goals.

During the workshop, participants will take part in activities that help them evaluate their financial habits and gain insight into their financial status. These activities are designed to offer practical knowledge and actionable steps aimed at enhancing financial literacy and overall financial well-being.
