So why join Fair Wealth Australia for $11 per week?
The biggest reason is because you would be joining a member-only not-for-profit organisation where we look after each other financially and emotionally when things get tough - and help each other when you're ready to learn new things and go forward in a fresh, positive way. Because we're better together as a community - than going it alone in this life.
You might be single, or a working family, sole parent, divorcee, or retired person. Either way, you're looking to make the most of this life by ensuring you have some financial support should things go wrong, emotional support as life goes on, and practical support as you move on in the form of advice, direction, and assistance when looking after your money and mind matters.
Being a not-for-profit, we keep our expenses low and our benefits high. We don't pay dividends to shareholders or our directors because the members essentially own our organisation. Scroll down this page to see the list of Membership Benefits.
