Alyssia Kennedy expands Life After School program across Australia

Alyssia Kennedy, Tasmania's Young Australian of the Year in 2026, founded the Life After School program to teach budgeting, tax filing and other adult life skills to school‑aged students. The program, which helped secure her award nomination, is set to expand nationwide across Australia.

Kennedy plans to separate the initiative from her Upturn Tasmania business and register it as a not‑for‑profit, a move she says will make it easier to access grants and other funding. She noted that the Australian of the Year nomination gave the programme a significant boost. Nominations for the 2027 Australian of the Year Awards close at midnight on 31 July.
