Company Profile

Company Description:

MoneyMob Talkabout is a not for profit organisation delivering financial literacy education and counselling with and for people in remote Indigenous communities, to help them positively manage their money.
 
Our vision, developed together with our local staff, is for a future where Anangu (Aboriginal people in the APY Lands) are clever with their money – and their families, communities and organisations are strong.

The  MoneyMob Talkabout program, based in the APY Lands, provides a one-stop shop for local community members to interact with the broader economy in a safe and supportive environment. Teams also visit other communities in South Australia from Pipalyatjarra to Indulkana providing services on an outreach basis.

The program takes a strong community development approach; to the extent possible, we prioritise local employment.  Our primary task is to assist people to achieve independence in their financial management so they do not become reliant on an outside service provider for their livelihood.  

We recognise people’s diverse strengths and inherent dignity as human beings.  We also emphasise two-way learning, where our staff (are expected to) learn as much from community as community learns from them.
