FIAP Governance

Good governance and oversight is essential to ensure that the FIAP program achieve its ambitious objectives, whilst exercising best-practice risk and project management. The FIAP Partnership Group, comprising of the Department of Social Services, Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand, EY and the Centre for Social Impact UNSW (CSI), enables each Member to build on their expertise including best practice approaches to program design and delivery, social impact evaluation and quality assurance, as briefly described below.

  • FIAP programs to promote and incentivise savings targeted 41,000 clients with a total value over $19 million
  • At least 121,000 people were supported in times of financial need, with support valued at over $62 million
  • Around 10,000 staff were trained to improve their capacity, attitude and behaviours to support financially vulnerable households.
