Member for Wollondilly Nathaniel smith said that many women were facing economic uncertainty in challenging times.
"The Women's Financial Toolkit is a one-stop shop which is free to access and full of useful information for women from all walks of life," he said.
"It links women to trustworthy information on a whole range of topics, from looking after everyday expenses to managing a small business or dealing with emergencies, as well as advice on their financial future."
Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the Toolkit draws on a range of resources designed to help women improve their financial literacy.
"Knowledge is power and I want to make sure all women across NSW have the resources to improve their financial wellbeing, whatever their personal circumstances," Mrs Taylor said.
The Toolkit was developed by Women NSW and the Minister for Women's Council for Women's Economic Opportunity (CWEO).
For single working mum Suzanne*, raising two children with minimal child support has meant financial pressure building over the course of a decade. She accessed the Toolkit on the recommendation of a friend, and it really helped to take the pressure off.
"I was so relieved to find so much information about money in one place. I could easily find out how to get help with my money issues," she said.
The Toolkit helped connect Suzanne with a free financial counsellor.
"They advocated for me and I was able to have several debts waived due to financial hardship. I also worked out a new budget that is helping me pay other debts," she said.
