Bloom — Employee Financial Wellness

Bloom is MyBudget's financial wellbeing programme for employers. It gives your people practical support with their money, delivered by the service that has helped more than 130,000 Australians since 1999.

Why financial wellbeing belongs in your benefits package

Financial stress does not stay at home. It clouds focus, drains energy and chips away at morale.

According to the AMP Report, 2024:

Those are AMP's figures, not MyBudget's, and they describe the Australian workforce broadly rather than any individual employer.

How Bloom differs from other wellness programmes

Most workplace wellness programmes address physical or mental health. Bloom addresses financial health — described by MyBudget's Founder and Director Tammy Barton as the number one cause of stress in Australia.

It is proactive rather than reactive, practical rather than educational, and personalised to each employee rather than delivered as a generic seminar. An employee does not get a webinar about budgeting; they get a budget.

What employees get

Bloom gives your people access to MyBudget's service: a personalised 12-month budget, Money Coach support, and the tools to manage bills, reduce debt and build savings. Each employee's financial situation stays confidential between them and MyBudget.

What employers get
