Sorted Money Month
Sorted Money Month kicks off in August. We’re looking for partners across the financial sector to help us share valuable information and tools to help New Zealanders maximise their money.
Money Month: 1 to 31 August 2023
Money Month is a public awareness and engagement campaign coordinated by Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission, in partnership with the financial capability community. Throughout August, we will be focusing on helping New Zealanders to maximise their money in a way that’s empowering and relevant in the current climate, as well as adaptable for partners to use.
The campaign is aligned to the National Strategy for Financial Capability’s purpose - working together to help demystify money.
We encourage all National Strategy partners, workplaces, schools and kura to take part to help New Zealanders better understand money and improve their financial wellbeing.
