Money & Work

Whether you are looking for work, a career change, planning for or approaching retirement or you would like to start up a business, this Money and Work section can be a useful starting point.

The following topics cover various aspects of your financial life. 


Employment
Looking for work? Not sure where to start? Start here. 

Reverse Mortgages
These allow people of age 60 and above to borrow money against real estate assets, usually their home. Repayment is not required until they sell or vacate the property, or is taken from their estate.

Starting a Small Business
Establishing and managing a successful small business can be financially rewarding and personally satisfying. However as many small businesses fail within the first 12 months of establishment, careful planning is required to ensure your ‘baby’ is a success. 

Financial Planning
Financial planning is the process of meeting your life goals through proper financial management.

Superannuation
Superannuation (super) is an excellent way to invest money for your retirement. Tax concessions and other government benefits currently make super one of the best ways to invest for the long term.

Pensions and Benefits
The Commonwealth and State governments provide a range of pensions and benefits to seniors who meet certain eligibility criteria.

Concessions for Seniors

Estate Planning
Estate planning is a means of ensuring that your estate is passed on, as set down in your will, in the most efficient and tax effective way possible.
