The Finance Newsletter will offer accessible, relatable financial insights to young Australians amid rising living costs and economic uncertainties.
The Daily Aus has launched The Finance Newsletter, a new initiative designed to make financial news accessible and relatable for young Australians. Initially sponsored by EatClub, a discount dining platform, the newsletter breaks down complex economic stories into clear, jargon-free insights at a time when rising living costs are putting growing pressure on young consumers.
The project aims to fill a gap in the market for straightforward financial content. Zara Seidler, co-founder of The Daily Aus, said young Australians were eager for financial knowledge but often found traditional finance media inaccessible and overly complicated. The newsletter will cover topics such as interest rates, rental market trends and broader economic issues, always framed in language its audience understands.
Tara O’Reilly, head of commercial at The Daily Aus, said the collaboration with EatClub felt natural given both brands’ focus on practical, everyday solutions. “We wanted a partner who could help us make finance feel fresh and engaging,” she said. EatClub’s CEO, Pan Koutlakis, added that supporting this kind of financial education was a “no-brainer” given the economic challenges facing young people.
The Finance Newsletter follows other successful newsletter formats from The Daily Aus, including its Good News Newsletter’ which aims to balance the often-negative tone of daily news with more uplifting stories. The expansion reflects the publisher’s strategy of adapting to its audience’s needs while building deeper engagement across platforms.
Since its beginnings as an Instagram news service, The Daily Aus has grown to reach nearly two million Australians each month through podcasts, daily emails and social media. Its move into financial literacy also comes as publishers grapple with uncertainty over content distribution on platforms like Meta, making owned channels like newsletters increasingly important.
The first edition of The Finance Newsletter will be delivered to subscribers on 27 May 2025, promising to offer practical tools for young Australians navigating an increasingly complex economy.
