In this Australian Retirement Podcast episode, your hosts Drew Meredith, from Wattle Partners, and James O'Reilly, from Northeast Wealth, bust the myth that financial advice fees are fully tax-deductible after the 2024 changes, walk through a real client case where an insurance refund accidentally triggered the bring-forward non-concessional cap, and run the numbers on what a daily coffee, a weekly pub meal, and three streaming services really cost a retiree over 25 years. They also explain what professional indemnity insurance actually covers (and what it does not), and answer two listener questions: the best month of the year to retire, and whether a still-working 60-year-old with $2 million should set up an allocated pension now. Topics covered today – The myth that all financial advice fees are tax-deductible — what actually changed in 2024 and why accountants are tightening up – A real case study: an insurance premium refund accidentally treated as a non-concessional contribution and the bring-forward trap it triggered – Why the latest age pension increase was completely wiped out by higher deeming rates, petrol, and grocery prices – The $432,000 cost of a daily coffee, weekly pub meal, and three streaming services over 25 years — and why we still say spend it anyway – Professional indemnity insurance: what it actually covers, what it doesn't, and why “bad returns” aren't a claim – Mad About Money's question: what is the best time of year to retire? (Hint: August) – Super Sandwich's question: 60 years old, $2 million in super, still working five more years — should you start an allocated pension now? – The over-60 super recycling strategy: meeting a condition of release, drawing the minimum, and re-contributing to save up to $14,000 a year in tax If you like this Australian Retirement Podcast episode on tax, coffee, and the over-60 super loophole, you'll love the series.

Giữa những lựa chọn phức tạp về chăm sóc, hưu bổng và tài chính, không ít người Việt vẫn loay hoay tự hỏi: mình có quyền lợi gì, bắt đầu từ đâu, và liệu đã chuẩn bị đủ chưa? Một dịch vụ miễn phí của chính phủ, do Centrelink cung cấp, ít được biết đến nhưng vô cùng thiết thực, đang giúp nhiều người tìm ra câu trả lời rõ ràng hơn cho hành trình tài chính khi về già.

What happens when your relationship has ended, but neither of you can move out? This is something I am seeing more and more across Australia. Separation no longer always looks like one person packing a bag and moving into a new home. With the cost of living, rental shortages, mortgage pressure, children, leases, school zones and financial stress, many people are finding themselves separated but still living under the same roof. And while that might be the only practical option, it can also be emotionally exhausting. In this episode, I talk about the growing reality of separation under one roof and how you can move through it with more clarity, structure and support. This is not about pretending everything is fine. It is not about staying in the same relationship. It is about recognising that, for many people, physical separation is not immediately possible but emotional, practical, financial and legal separation can still begin. I explore how to create a same-roof separation plan, how to protect children from confusion and conflict, how to manage the emotional load, and why safety must always come first. This episode is for you if you are living in that difficult middle place: the relationship has ended, but the home, the mortgage, the lease, the children or the finances mean you are still sharing the same address. Resources: If you are in immediate danger, call 000. For domestic, family or sexual violence support in Australia, contact 1800RESPECT (1800737732). It is a national counselling, information and support service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For men using, or at risk of using, violent or controlling behaviour, the Men's Referral Service is available nationally on 1300 766 491. Separation under one roof is recognised in Australia, including by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia when couples have lived separately in the same home during the 12-month separation period required for divorce. The Court notes that extra information may be needed if you rely on that period when applying for divorce. Services Australia also recognises this situation and has a "Separated under one roof" form for people who are separated but still living with their ex-partner, so their relationship status can be assessed correctly for payments.

In this episode of Work with Purpose, host Louise MacDonald, managing partner, at EY, Canberra speaks with Kirsty Kirk, director of Leadership Programs at Services Australia, and Ken Walker, national manager, Emergency Response at Services Australia, about Services Australia's Service Delivery Immersion Program. The program gives SES leaders and policy partners firsthand insight into how decisions, systems and policies land for staff and customers. By spending time in service centres and call environments, leaders see the complexity of frontline work, the needs of vulnerable customers, and the opportunities to make services simpler and more effective.Recognised through the IPAA ACT Spirit of Service Awards, the program has expanded across government and is helping build more empathetic, customer-centred leadership.Key tips:1. Stay close to the people your work affects. Regularly step away from the desk to observe services, speak with communities, and see firsthand how policies and programs land in real life.2. Design and decide from the user's perspective. Ask, “What does this feel like for the person on the receiving end?”. Aim for interactions that are simple, human, and seamless.3. Treat frontline staff as partners, not endpoints. Involve the people who deliver services in shaping policy, programs and systems. Listen to their insights, act on what you hear, and keep feedback loops open.4. Lead with curiosity and empathy. Frontline immersion helps leaders better understand customer complexity, staff pressures, and the human impact of their decisions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Australian Government provides a range of family payments and support services to eligible households. From those expecting a child to families with teenagers, assistance is available at different stages of family life through Services Australia. However, some experts say not everyone who may be eligible is accessing this support. In this interview with SBS Punjabi, Jyoti from Services Australia explains who may qualify, what assistance is available, and how families can check their eligibility and access available support. - ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਵਧਾਉਣ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਲਣ ਪੋਸ਼ਣ ਲਈ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਯੋਗ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਭੁਗਤਾਨ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਗਰਭਅਵਸਥਾ, ਜਨਮ ਤੋਂ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਪਾਲਣ ਪੋਸ਼ਣ, ਚਾਇਲਡ ਕੇਅਰ, ਸਿਹਤ ਸੰਭਾਲ, ਸਕੂਲ ਅਤੇ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਈ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਨਾਲ ਕਿਸ਼ੋਰ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਤੱਕ, ਹਰ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਉਮਰ ਦੇ ਪੜਾਅ ਲਈ ਪਰਿਵਾਰਾਂ ਲਈ ਸਰਕਾਰੀ ਭੁਗਤਾਨ ਉਪਲਬਧ ਹਨ। ਪਰ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਭੁਗਤਾਨਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਕਿਹੜੇ ਭੁਗਤਾਨ ਲਈ ਯੋਗ ਹੈ? ਜਾਨਣ ਲਈ ਸੁਣੋ ਸਰਵਿਸਿਜ਼ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆਿ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੇਵਾ ਨਿਭਾ ਰਹੀ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਮੂਲ ਦੀ ਅਧਿਕਾਰੀ ਜਯੋਤੀ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਐਸ ਬੀ ਐਸ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਦੀ ਇਹ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ।

A Commonwealth Ombudsman report has found Services Australia knowingly breached child support laws for six years, denying payments to parents with less than 35 per cent care. At least 16,600 people were affected, with some owed up to $10,000. The report highlights unintended legal consequences, financial abuse risks, and recommends law changes, compensation, and stronger oversight to recover funds and protect vulnerable families.

A landmark report has revealed Services Australia knowingly bypassed child support laws for six years, internally blocking payments to over 16,000 parents who provided less than 35 per cent of their children's care. While the agency argued the law created "unintended consequences" by requiring primary carers to pay those with minimal care responsibilities, the Ombudsman ruled that ignoring legislation is not an option for public servants. - ایک اہم رپورٹ میں انکشاف ہوا ہے کہ سروسز آسٹریلیا نے جان بوجھ کر چھ سال تک چائلڈ سپورٹ قوانین کو نظرانداز کیا اور اندرونی طور پر ان ادائیگیوں کو روک دیا جو سولہ ہزار سے زائد ایسے والدین کو ملنی تھیں جو اپنے بچوں کی پینتیس فیصد دیکھ بھال کرتے تھے۔اگرچہ ادارے کا مؤقف تھا کہ سروسز آسٹریلیا کا طریقہ کار "غیر ارادی نتائج" پیدا کر رہا تھا کیونکہ اس کے تحت بنیادی نگہداشت کرنے والوں کے ساتھ کم دیکھ بھال کرنے والوں کو بھی ادائیگی کرنا پڑتی تھی، لیکن محتسب نے فیصلہ دیا کہ سرکاری اداروں کو قانون کو نظرانداز کرنے کا کوئی اختیار نہیں۔

Mặc dù cơ quan này lập luận rằng luật tạo ra "hậu quả không lường trước được", bằng cách yêu cầu người chăm sóc chính phải trả tiền cho những người có trách nhiệm chăm sóc tối thiểu, nhưng Giám sát viên đã phán quyết rằng việc phớt lờ luật pháp, không phải là một lựa chọn đối với công chức nhà nước.

Developed through extensive consultation and research, they offer practical guidance for improving both policy and service delivery.Laure Yassine, acting national manager, Business and Customer Architecture Branch, Services Australia, Lisa Jansen, national manager, Digital Product Design Branch, Services Australia, and Carly Harrison, assistant director, Partnership and Engagement, APS Commission, join host David Pembroke, CEO of contentgroup, to explore how these principles are being embedded across the APS to improve outcomes for all Australians.Key tips:1.
