EPISODE SUMMARY Amanda di Medici is the founder of Yenom, an independent financial wellbeing business helping employers address the hidden cost of financial stress in the workplace. After careers spanning technology, mortgage broking, financial counselling and adult education, Amanda built Yenom to reach a group she calls the "working poor": people who have jobs, but not enough left over to actually get ahead, and who fall outside every government-funded support service because they don't hold a Centrelink card. In this conversation, Amanda shares the personal turning point that led her to build Yenom, why she has deliberately built the business to be commission-free and product-free, and how financial stress is fast becoming recognised as a genuine psychosocial risk inside Australian workplaces. She also explains the story behind the name Yenom, and previews the financial wellbeing app she is launching in August 2026. IN THIS EPISODE Amanda's early lesson in money management, and the friend's offhand comment that changed how she thought about saving Her path from law, finance and adult education into mortgage broking, and what she saw there that she couldn't unsee Why she calls her audience the "working poor," and who falls into that gap between paying the bills and being supported The personal catalyst, turning 50 and losing her sister, that pushed her to build Yenom Why Yenom is built to be 100% independent, with no AFSL, no products sold, and no commissions The story behind the name Yenom, and the brief she gave her branding team: "know thyself" What she's seeing in the mining sector, including apprentices earning six-figure salaries who are bankrupt within five years How financial stress is emerging as a workplace psychosocial risk, and its link to AI-driven job uncertainty The financial wellbeing app launching in August, and how it fits alongside Yenom's corporate and workshop offerings Amanda's dream for Yenom: her app in a hundred thousand pockets, and a foundation that funds financial literacy long after she's gone ABOUT AMANDA DI MEDICI Amanda di Medici has an educational background in Law, Finance and Adult Education, along with over thirty years' experience across tech and community services. While exploring a self-employment opportunity in finance broking, Amanda saw first-hand the need for comprehensive, basic financial education among the many people she met each day, from those seeking zero-deposit home loans, to those caught in "rent to buy" schemes, to those with no realistic path to credit at all. That experience led her into roles with the Brotherhood of St Lawrence and TAFE NSW, where she built the grounding in structure, support and outcomes behind effective financial literacy education. Twenty years on, Amanda founded Yenom, an independent financial wellbeing business that meets people where they are: at work. Yenom combines workplace financial wellbeing programs with a gamified mobile app, and its defining principle is independence. Yenom does not sell or recommend financial products, and does not sell or market using client data. Its sole objective is personal financial understanding and increased wellbeing. Amanda is also a sponsor of the Women in Mining Network and works closely with the mining and heavy industry sectors.

Khi khai Census 2026, người dân được yêu cầu cung cấp nhiều thông tin cá nhân, điều này có thể khiến một số người lo ngại liệu thông tin của mình có được chuyển cho cảnh sát, cơ quan di trú, Centrelink, Sở Thuế vụ Úc hay các cơ quan chính phủ khác hay không?

This week's Money Diary starts with a sentence I don't think I've ever heard before. "I think I accidentally became rich." Growing up, money was something her family never really talked about. She was raised by a single mum, grew up on Centrelink, won a scholarship to a private school, and didn't realise just how little they had until she was much older. Fast forward to today and she's 34, has more than $100,000 invested, over $218,000 in super, a full year's worth of expenses sitting in her emergency fund, and recently quit her full-time consulting job to work on her own terms. And here's the part I loved most. She bought a house... then decided she actually didn't want one. Instead, she's chosen a life built around flexibility, travel and financial independence, proving that building wealth doesn't have to look the same for everyone. We chat about growing up without financial literacy, becoming obsessed with investing, why she contributes up to $2,000 a week to ETFs while the income is there, turning down home ownership, and what "enough" really looks like when you're designing a life you actually want. This conversation is a reminder that there isn't one right way to build wealth. Sometimes the smartest financial decision is the one that gives you the most freedom.Acknowledgement of Country By Nartarsha Bamblett (nartarshabamblett.com.au) The advice shared on She's On The Money is general in nature and does not consider your individual circumstances.

While Dan is away on his Honeymoon, we have Chloe & Tim diving into the wonderful world of Child Care Subsidies (CCS) — because apparently raising children wasn't expensive enough already. They unpack how CCS is actually calculated, why your income might not be what Centrelink thinks it is, and how things like salary packaging, fringe benefits, extra super, and investment property losses can affect your subsidy. The pair also tackle the big question many parents ask themselves: "Is it even worth going back to work?" when childcare costs, tax, and daycare sickness seem determined to eat every extra dollar you earn. Plus, they throw around a few ideas on how to fix the system, including whether childcare should simply be tax deductible. This is one not to be missed!

Đối với nhiều người Việt tại Úc, khoản trợ cấp tiền già của chính phủ (Age Pension) là nguồn thu nhập quan trọng khi bước vào tuổi nghỉ hưu. Chị Vân Nguyễn, viên chức thuộc Financial Information Service (FIS) của Services Australia Centrelink, giải đáp những thắc mắc phổ biến nhất liên quan đến Age Pension.

Centrelink வாடிக்கையாளர்களை ஏமாற்றும் நோக்கில் புதிய வகை மோசடி மின்னஞ்சல்கள் அனுப்பப்பட்டு வருவதாக எச்சரிக்கை விடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இது குறித்த செய்தியை எடுத்து வருகிறார் செல்வி இன்பசேகரன்.

Sarah Sacher from the Human Technology Institute (HTI) explains the expanded provisions for automated decision making in the new NDIS Bill before parliament, that lack human oversight and proper guard rails. This decision-making relates to the supports that people with disability can access.While certain types of decisions may be appropriate for automation, those that require human discretion and judgement are not. It appears that government has learnt little from the Robodebt tragedy, and the failures and travesties of automated decision-making in areas such as aged care assessments, Jobseeker compliance assessments, and the many unlawful cancellations of Centrelink payments.In a submission to a Senate inquiry, the HTI recommends that the Australian Government urgently implements a legislated framework for its use of all automated decision making. In addition, Sarah suggests that listeners raise this urgent issue with their local (federal) MP.LinksNational Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026Submission and article by the Human Technology Institute (HTI)Karen Barlow 2026, 'Exclusive: Unprecedented automation in NDIS decisions', The Saturday Paper No. 603, 6-12 June 2026.

In this Garage Edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux tackles rising fuel prices, global uncertainty and what he sees as growing public frustration with government decisions. From the Strait of Hormuz and fuel excise relief to the SpaceX IPO frenzy, climate change scepticism, Australia's tax burden and the expanding public service, Jeremy questions whether Australians are becoming poorer, less optimistic and increasingly disconnected from those in power. He also examines social media's impact on children, the state of modern education, concerns surrounding charity regulations, Centrelink's customer service failures, and the broader shift away from human interaction in government and business. Topics Discussed Fuel excise relief ending and rising fuel costs Strait of Hormuz tensions and global trade concerns SpaceX IPO and investor speculation Historical share market manias and financial bubbles Climate change scepticism and public belief systems Australian taxation levels and government spending KPMG survey showing Australians feel worse off Electricity prices and cost-of-living pressures Social media's impact on children's mental health Education standards and concerns about "woke" ideology Kevin Donnelly's book The War on Woke Charity regulation and accountability concerns Andrew Leigh and charity sector oversight Centrelink customer service and automation Offshore call centres and customer frustration Winston Churchill and WWII history Amelia Earhart and historical anniversaries Paul McCartney birthday mention Waterloo anniversary and historical events See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations has now suggested in Estimates hearings that over 100,000 people may have had their Centrelink payments unlawfully cancelled under the Targeted Compliance Framework (TCF) – roughly 10 times the number the Department has publicly admitted. Jeremy discusses the hearings, the TCF, the creation of a new complaints service, and how to get support if you are affected by payment suspensions or cancellations.// As part of 3CR's 50th anniversary celebrations, we dive into the station's archives to take you back 26 years to a pivotal protest against the World Economic Forum, 11-13 September 2000, at the Crown Casino Complex in Melbourne. The s11 protest brought disparate organising groups together into a broad coalition against globalisation and multinational domination. 3CR covered the massive public opposition to the WEF and compiled highlights of the broadcasts on an award-winning 12-part CD, Globalisation Unplugged.// Christine Carolan, a member of Save Community Health, joined us again to unpack the recently released 'Review of Cohealth General Practice and Related Services, Final Report March 2026'. The Review was provided to the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, and the Victorian Department of Health in March and released publicly in June. Christine explains what the review found and recommended, why it is so significant, reactions to the report, and what comes next. Save Community Health is a community led campaign that receives no funding and is not affiliated with any political party or group. Contact them via email at savecommunityhealth@gmail.com and find out more on their website.

We spoke with Chris about their experience at the public hearing, the dangers of using AI within the NDIS, and why the inquiry report has been delayed. Disabled People Against Cuts encourages people to meet with their local member and senators to ask them to insist on the withrdrawal of the bill.

Retirement Planning in Australia: What to Do 5 Years Out, 1 Year Out & On Retirement DayThis week on Friends With Money, Money Magazine host Ryan Johnson speaks with financial adviser Nick Bruining (Netplan) about preparing for retirement from five years out through to “R-day.”They cover assessing family arrangements, assets and cash flow, likely lifestyle spending, and creating a wishlist while prioritising paying off non-deductible debt. Nick explains why life insurance often becomes less necessary as assets grow, and how to reduce investment risk in super as retirement nears while still keeping some growth for a 20–30 year retirement.They discuss boosting super via salary sacrifice, personal deductible contributions, carry-forward concessional rules for balances under $500,000, and debunk the “million-dollar myth,” noting Centrelink can meaningfully top up income. The episode also covers downsizer contributions, part pension rules while working, concession cards, and applying via myGov within 13 weeks.00:57 Five years out checklist03:25 Rethinking life insurance05:24 Super strategy and risk08:54 One year out planning11:28 Boosting super smartly14:35 Downsizing and centrelink17:10 Purpose and part pension21:10 Applying for pension cards23:55 Retirement day logisticsPodcast Links:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyMoney WebsiteYouTube Podcast PlaylistEmail Us: podcast@moneymag.com.auGet stories like this in our newsletter: bit.ly/3GDirbR

Multi-generational living is becoming a more common response to the uncomfortable realities facing ageing parents and their adult children.With traditional aged-care pathways increasingly expensive, emotionally fraught, and often poorly understood, families are weighing up alternatives — staying at home, moving into residential care, or reshaping the family home through shared living arrangements and granny flats.In this episode, we look under the hood of multi-generational living to explore what's actually involved. From legal ownership and estate outcomes to pension eligibility, Centrelink rules, and family dynamics, we unpack the decisions families are making — and the risks they often don't see until they're already committed.Our guest, Adriana Care, is Managing Partner at Coutts Legal and works at the coalface with families navigating these choices under pressure. She's seeing a clear shift among the so-called sandwich generation toward property-based solutions for ageing parents — raising complex questions around money, fairness, control, and what can go wrong when good intentions meet poor planning.This episode isn't about whether multi-generational living is right or wrong. It's about understanding the legal, financial, and practical realities behind these decisions before they become permanent.Episode Highlights01:18 — Meet Adriana Care of Coutts Legal02:08 — Is Aged Care Failing Modern Families?03:47 — The Legal and Financial Risks Families Miss05:25 — Why Families Choose Multi-Generational Living15:31 — Retirement Living vs Staying at Home20:50 — How Retirement Village Contracts Really Work25:40 — What to Know Before Making a Family Move28:10 — Inside Retirement Village Agreements28:55 — Disclosure Documents Explained29:40 — Rules and Regulations That Catch Families Out30:52 — How Family Dynamics Shape Care Decisions32:21 — Financial Elder Abuse: Legal Warning Signs35:29 — Binding Financial Agreements Explained37:46 — Pensions, Gifting, and Centrelink Rules40:21 — Why Downsizing Isn't Always the Answer44:02 — Granny Flat Arrangements: Legal Traps49:42 — A Real Case That Shows What Can Go WrongAbout the GuestAdriana Care is the Managing Partner at Coutts Legal, where she specialises in aged care and elder law.

Australia's welfare system is often described as a safety net for the most vulnerable, so what happens when that safety net is yanked away? Analysis released earlier this year suggests that hundreds of thousands of Centrelink payments have been illegally cancelled since 2020, with many more suspended.

Ever feel like everyone else’s life is speeding ahead while you’re stuck in the slow lane? This week’s Money Diarist knows that feeling too well. While her friends were off travelling, she was juggling uni deadlines and midnight feeds.
