Our Retirement Planning Services
A Personalised Approach to Your Retirement Goals
Your vision for retirement is unique. We connect you with a financial adviser for retirement planning who listens to your story and designs a tailored strategy to help you get there.

Defining Your Retirement Vision
The first step is understanding your goals. Do you want to travel, downsize, or help your grandchildren? We’ll connect you with an expert who will help you calculate the income you’ll need and the super balance required to support that lifestyle.

Building Your Retirement Savings Plan
We’ll connect you with a specialist who can review your current situation and develop a retirement savings plan to help you reach your goals. This can include strategies like:
Salary Sacrificing: A tax-effective way to boost your super contributions directly from your pre-tax income.
Self-Employed Super Contributions: Guidance on the best ways to build your super when you work for yourself.
Retirement Investment Strategies: Developing a retirement investment plan that adjusts to suit your changing time frame and risk profile as you get closer to retirement.

Retirement Income Planning
Once you’re ready to stop working, the focus shifts to creating a reliable income stream. A specialist can provide advice on the best retirement investment options for you, including:
How to draw down your super, whether through account-based pensions or annuities.
Understanding the tax implications of your retirement income.
Integrating your plan with Centrelink and other government benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions About Retirement Planning
This is the most common question, and the answer is different for everyone. It depends on your desired lifestyle, your eligibility for the Age Pension, and your other investments. A financial adviser can analyse your personal circumstances and give you a specific figure to aim for.
You can generally access your super when you reach your "preservation age" (which is between 55 and 60, depending on when you were born) and meet a condition of release, such as retiring from the workforce.
While you can take your super as a lump sum, most people benefit from using it to start an income stream (a pension) to provide a regular, tax-effective income throughout retirement. A financial adviser can help you decide on the best strategy for your needs.
