Ecstra seeks to help address the many structural and systems barriers to financial wellbeing through our policy and advocacy agenda. We work in alliances that share data, insights and approaches to advocate for the crucial role of financial wellbeing in overall health, to influence policy settings and drive system change. We also work with partners to ensure the positive impacts of building financial capability for people, communities and the economy are recognised and actively addressed.
