Projects Making Waves

Each semester, our students partner with local organizations to solve real financial challenges. Here's what happened when classroom knowledge met community needs.

Community Banking

Rural Banking Access Initiative

Students worked with three remote towns in Western Australia to develop mobile banking education programs. They created simplified financial literacy workshops that traveled between communities, helping residents understand digital banking and avoid costly fees.

Stories That Matter

Behind every project are real people whose lives improved because students cared enough to dig deep and find practical solutions. These aren't just case studies—they're proof that good financial education creates ripple effects throughout communities.

The students didn't just give us spreadsheets and walk away. They spent weeks understanding how our café actually operates, then built tools that work with our chaotic reality. Six months later, we're still using their cash flow system every single day.
