National Financial Wellbeing Summit – Sydney

As part of our ongoing commitment to building a future in which all people can achieve their best financial wellbeing, Ecstra hosted a Financial Wellbeing Summit on Thursday 6 November 2025.

With Effie Zahos, 9News Money Editor as MC, and opening remarks from Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Financial Services, the Hon Dr Daniel Mulino MP (pre-recorded), keynote speakers ASIC Commissioner Alan Kirkland, Hon. Professor Roslyn Russell and the OECD’s Miles Larbey set the scene for thought-provoking discussions.

Our panels explored the drivers of inequality, the balance between education and regulation, and the power of collaboration to strengthen financial, mental and social wellbeing. 

Ecstra CEO Caroline Stewart closed the Summit with a clear message: strengthening financial wellbeing requires working together across policy, education, systems and communities under a renewed national strategy – led by government and backed by stable funding, clear accountability and measurable outcomes.
