The Saver Plus Program is a government-funded initiative designed to support families with school-related costs while building lifelong financial skills.

Eligible families who commit to saving up to $50 a month over 10 months will have their savings matched dollar for dollar, up to $500. That means you could have $1,000 to put towards your child's education.

You can use the funds for a range of education-related expenses, including:

• Laptops, tablets, and other digital devices

• School uniforms, shoes, and books

• Camps, excursions, music, and sports fees
