This week we meet three inspirational CEOs of organisations helping those most in need during COVID 19.

Coping during Covid is hard enough if you’re an Australian resident but imagine being new to the country, struggling with the language, no job and no family support.  We learn how an organisation in South Australia is helping these vulnerable people.

And we talk to the head of a wonderful exchange program specifically for women, with resources and programs to help with any curveball life throws.

To wrap up the series, the CEO of Ecstra talks about the work of all associations who collaborate with Ecstra to help build financial wellbeing across the nation.

Guests:
