The most successful FSPs have one thing in common: A culture of continuous learning. 💡

​Traditional training models are often too slow for the digital age. When regulations change or new products launch, waiting for a physical workshop is a risk.

​RIF Academy partners with Financial Service Providers to set up modern Learning Management Systems. We help you turn staff capacity building from a logistical headache into a competitive advantage.

​Lower costs. Higher retention. Better compliance.

Dear Good Return Supporters,

As we close out the year, we reflect on another year of impact. Thanks to your generosity and support of Good Return’s mission, women entrepreneurs across our region have been able to build stronger businesses, support their families, and invest in their communities - even in the face of ongoing economic uncertainty.

Over the past year, your support has helped us reach important milestones in promoting financial empowerment and inclusion across the region. Some key highlights include:

7,468 people downloaded and used the My Money Tracker app - improving how they manage their money.
3,600 staff in the financial sector trained in social inclusion via our Responsible Inclusive Finance Academy.

884 people across the region completed face-to-face financial literacy training sessions.
82% of financial literacy coaching participants improved their financial literacy.
72% of our financial literacy coaching participants reported an increase in savings.
Conclusion of our 5-year Impact Investment Fund which supported 602 small businesses and 4,100 jobs, and launch of our second fund.

It’s a powerful reminder that when women are given access to finance and support, the impact on them, their families and communities is lasting and generational. You can read more about this year’s results and stories in our newly released Annual Report which can be found in our website goodreturn.org.au.

As we look ahead to the year to come, we invite you to join us in continuing to build on this social and economic impact. Your end-of-year donation will help more women entrepreneurs and their families access the tools, capital, and confidence they need to thrive.

From all of us at Good Return, thank you.

Shane Nichols, CEO
