SVA Consulting and financial wellbeing

SVA believes in an Australia where all people can enjoy financial wellbeing and live free from the burden of financial hardship and stress.

Financial vulnerability can be both a cause, and a magnifier, of disadvantage, and it is becoming more common in Australia. We work with organisations across the financial wellbeing landscape to support their contributions to alleviating financial stress in Australia.

From large financial services organisations, to not-for-profits and key government players, we have built the capacity of numerous organisations to better support those experiencing financial stress, moving them towards financial wellbeing. Excitingly, we have also worked in partnership to drive forward system-wide interventions on behalf of a broad coalition of concerned organisations to create significant, large-scale positive changes in the financial services sector.

The cost of dying

How do you address the costly business of funerals for those that can’t afford them? SVA and a host of unlikely partners might just have nailed it with an initiative tackling both funeral costs and the way people save.
