The Business of Purpose-led Leadership Part 1

For generations, the roadmap to the “Australian Dream” was linear: get an education, work hard, buy a house, and set yourself up for life. But today, even high earners find themselves at the mercy of a skyrocketing property market.  

If you’re finding it harder to buy assets, spend, and invest, plus wealth is tied up in older generations, what does that mean for the future of our economy? 

UNSW Vice Chancellor’s Professor Richard Holden warns that when the dream of homeownership feels out of reach, it could trigger a bigger psychological shift. "If people think that they're never going to own a home, never going to be able to build wealth, and don’t have a stake in their future, then that's a very damaging thing."  

If you can't rely on bricks and mortar to build wealth, how do you get ahead?

When did you last give your finances a proper health check? If the answer is “I’m not sure”, you’re not alone.  

A staggering 45% of Australian adults lack the basic financial literacy needed to navigate today’s economic and financial world. Millions of Australians aren’t confidently able to manage savings, tackle debt, or grasp how shifting interest rates impact them. Gaining a clear picture of the economy is essential for you to make the best possible choices with your own money.  

We’ve entered an era of "frictionless" spending, where digital taps and "buy now, pay later" tools make money feel invisible. UNSW Economics Professor Isabella Dobrescu breaks down why this convenience could be working against you, and how you can get a handle on your finances.

Founding Director of the UNSW Tax and Business Advisory Clinic, Professor Kayis-Kumar, shares the simple steps you could take to check your financial safety. And for professional advisors, hear the crucial workplace practices you can put in place to ensure you aren’t facilitating the abuse.

   Financial abuse isn't always obvious. It can be hidden in tax returns, business structures, joint accounts and routine paperwork. UNSW Professor Ann Kayis-Kumar explains the red flags to look for, from restricted access to money and hidden assets, to debt shifting and exclusion from financial decisions.
