Government, Education and Community

17 April 2026

NAB Education held a webinar on the important topics of student wellbeing and life at school – based on our latest NAB Education Insights research. Webinar recording now available.

We recently held a national webinar webinar where we explored issues such as student optimism, managing finances, barriers to realising goals and general attitudes to life.

Insights were drawn from a survey of Australian secondary students nationwide, with contributions from public schools, independent schools and Catholic schools and across all high school year levels.

Panellists:

• Dean Pearson, NAB’s Head of Behavioural and Industry Economics, who shared our latest NAB Education Insights. Dean also provided an economic update.
• The event was hosted by Kate Bain, National Executive – Government, Education and Community.
• The live Q&A was hosted by Damien Hoffman – Business Bank Executive Government, Education and Community (NSW & QLD).
