National FIAPs
The Financial Inclusion Action Plan (FIAP) Program is a call to action – and we invite organisations from across all sectors to partner with us and play their part in promoting financial resilience and wellbeing in Australia.
The progress we have made
Since the FIAP program started in 2016, over forty organisations have made public commitments to improve financial inclusion and wellbeing in their sphere of influence.
Their Financial Inclusion Plans have been developed according to a framework supported by Good Shepherd.
