Retirement Secure
Your financial plan for retirement will give you peace of mind that you can enjoy your retirement the way you want and that your finances will go the distance.
We can help you maximise your retirement income and government benefits. One of the most common questions we get asked is “Will I have enough money for retirement?”. But the answer isn’t so straightforward – the perfect amount you need will depend on your personal circumstances, your personal objectives and your retirement plans.
Here are some of the strategies our financial advisers can support you with to make the most of your retirement savings:
- Identify your retirement goals and estimate the annual income you will need to live your best life in retirement
- Identify optimal retirement income options from investment choices
- Utilise super contributions (should you wish to make any additional contributions) to maximise your superannuation balance before transitioning to a retirement income stream
- Determine your eligibility for the Centrelink Age Pension or any other additional government concessions, such as the Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card
- Structure your assets whilst also considering the tax implications
- Develop a cash flow plan, if you wish to gradually transition into retirement by reducing your work hours

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Retirement
Planning in Australia
When should I start planning for retirement?
It’s never too early to start planning for retirement. The earlier you start, the more time you have to save and invest for retirement. However, even if you haven’t started planning yet, it’s important to start as soon as possible.
How much should I save for retirement?
The amount you need to save for retirement will depend on your retirement goals and expenses. A financial adviser can help you determine your savings goals based on your unique circumstances and goals.
What is the age pension, and how do I qualify for it?
The age pension is a government benefit that provides a regular income stream to eligible retirees. To qualify for the age pension, you must meet certain age and income and asset requirements. The eligibility criteria change regularly, so it’s important to check the current criteria before you retire.
Can I access my superannuation before retirement age?
Generally, you can only access your superannuation when you reach your preservation age and retire. However, there are some circumstances where you may be able to access your superannuation early, such as in cases of severe financial hardship, permanent disability, or terminal illness.
How often should I review my retirement plan?
It’s important to review your retirement plan regularly to ensure it aligns with your goals and objectives. Review your plan annually, or whenever you experience a significant life event or change in your financial circumstances.
What are the risks of not planning for retirement?
Failing to plan for retirement can lead to financial insecurity and stress during your retirement years. You may not have enough savings to cover your living expenses, medical costs, or other needs, leading to a reduced standard of living. Planning for retirement can help you avoid these risks and achieve a comfortable and secure retirement.
