The FCVic 2025 Conference in Lorne brought together financial counsellors, financial capability workers, and sector partners for two days of learning and collaboration. Centred on the theme ‘Sparking Change’, the program explored bold ideas to strengthen fairness, resilience, and trust in communities—through systemic advocacy, practical skills, and shared vision for the future.

Our recent Gala Dinner celebrated excellence and dedication in financial counselling, honouring award winners and recognising members who have served the sector for 10, 20, 30 and even 40 years.
