The Visibility Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This was a 2025 student-led initiative in the Faculty of Business and Law that was co-designed by Curtin student Tayissa Deering, working in partnership with Shirlee-Ann Knight (Teaching Academic) and Caitlin Agostino (Project Coordinator). This project involved consultation with staff and students with lived experience of disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awareness-raising initiatives to support students with a disability are most effective when informed by student input and lived experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial Literacy Workshops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Financial literacy is unique to each individual, influenced by their personal financial situation, goals, knowledge and preferences. Factors like education, income, cultural background and life experiences all play a role in shaping one’s financial literacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key skills needed for understanding personal finance include: budgeting, investing, debt management, and planning for financial security and stability, and these skills need to be tailored to a person’s specific circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Faculty of Business and Law’s Financial Literacy project, supported by the Rural Regional Remote (RRR) Women\u2019s Network of WA, is dedicated to promoting economic inclusion for women in remote, regional, and rural communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
