Service NSW has launched a new advertising campaign to raise awareness of the more than 70 ways people can save money through its Savings Finder program.
Welcoming the campaign, Premier Dominic Perrottet said that since launching in 2017, the Savings Finder program had saved families around $5.8 billion, with vouchers, rebates and initiatives designed to find savings “in every aspect of daily life”.
Treasurer Matt Kean said many families and businesses were unaware of the various savings available, ranging from family activities to holiday vouchers.
“Our cost of living program is designed to help with everyday expenses including household energy and utilities, transport, raising children, dining, experiences and accommodation,” Mr Kean said.
“More than three million people have accessed the free Savings Finder tool, which has something for everyone,” he said.
“It can be easily found on either the Service NSW App, or the MyServiceNSW Account on the Service NSW website.”
Mr Kean said Savings Specialists were also available in-person at Service NSW centres or over the phone on 13 77 88, “providing personalised assistance to find which initiatives are best suited to a family’s individual needs”.
The Treasurer said that to date, there had been more than 97,000 appointments made with Savings Specialists, with households saving an average of $770 each.
“My message to families is simple – do yourself a favour and give the Savings Finder program a go or book an appointment with a Savings Specialist,” he said.
“You could walk away with extra money in your pocket.”
Mr Kean said the awareness campaign would run for four weeks across television, print, radio and social media.
