Gippsland, and the country around it

Our Gippsland advisers work with people across the Latrobe Valley, South Gippsland and East Gippsland, including Traralgon, Morwell, Moe, Churchill, Sale, Bairnsdale, Leongatha, Korumburra, Yarram and Foster.

Gippsland runs on two economies that are both in transition. Dairy and agriculture across the south and east, and power generation through the Latrobe Valley, where station closures have put retirement dates in front of people who did not choose them.

Both produce hard financial conversations. A redundancy at fifty-eight after thirty years in the same job is not a windfall, it is a planning problem with a deadline. Farm succession is harder still, because the asset cannot be divided, the next generation may not want it, and the conversation involves the whole family. We do a lot of both.

What we help with

Almost nobody arrives needing all five. Most people start with one and find the others matter more than they expected.

retirement-planning

Retirement
planning

When you can stop, whether the number is enough, and how to turn it into an income that lasts.
superannuation-planning

Superannuation

Contribution strategy, consolidation, insurance inside super, and making sure the structure still suits your stage of life.
investment-advice

Investment
advice

Portfolio construction inside the advice relationship, built around your goals and your tolerance for risk.
personal-life-insurance

Personal
insurance

Life, income protection, total and permanent disability and trauma cover, sized to what your family would actually need.
aged-care

Aged
care

A parent's move into care, the family home, means-tested fees and the timing of it all.
estate-planning

Estate
planning

Wills, powers of attorney, beneficiary nominations and what happens to super, which does not pass through your will by default.

Five stages,
not five hundred pages.

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. From there it’s a documented process, and you see the reasoning at every step rather than a recommendation landing on your desk.

Evaluation

Where you are now, what prompted the call, and an honest answer on whether we're the right fit. Sometimes the answer is that you don't need us yet.

Written advice

Implementation

Questions to ask your Financial Advisor in Gippsland

Do I have to go to Melbourne for good financial advice?
No. Our Gippsland advisers are part of a national group, so you get the research, technical support and investment resources of a firm with 32 offices, delivered by someone who lives locally and will still be here in ten years. There is no advantage to a Melbourne postcode.
Which areas do you cover from the Gippsland office?
Gippsland and the surrounding area, including Traralgon, Morwell, Moe, Churchill, Sale, Bairnsdale, Leongatha, Korumburra, Yarram and Foster. If you are further out, we can meet by video or arrange to come to you.
Can I meet by phone or video instead of coming in?
Yes, and plenty of our Gippsland clients do. The advice is the same either way. Most people mix the two: an initial meeting in person, then reviews by video.
What does financial advice cost?
Fees depend on how complex your situation is and what you need. We quote in writing before you engage, so you decide with the number in front of you rather than after the fact. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation.
Do I have enough money to need an adviser?
Advice tends to matter most at moments of change rather than at a particular balance. Retiring, selling a business or a property, an inheritance, a redundancy, a separation. If you are facing a decision you cannot easily undo, that is usually the point, whatever the number.
Can you help with Age Pension and Centrelink?
Yes. Working out entitlements, how assets and income are assessed, and how a decision about super or an investment affects what you receive is a routine part of retirement advice.
Are your Gippsland advisers qualified?
Yes. All of our advisers meet the education, training and ethical standards required to give personal financial advice in Australia and appear on ASIC's Financial Advisers Register. Individual qualifications are listed on each adviser's profile.
What is a best interests duty?
It is a legal obligation to act in your best interests when giving personal advice, and to put your interests ahead of ours wherever the two could conflict. It is the reason a recommendation has to be documented with the reasoning behind it rather than simply asserted.
Do you also do home loans?
Yes, through our Gippsland lending team. Advice and lending sit in the same group, so if you are weighing up a mortgage alongside a retirement or investment decision, both conversations can happen together.

Gippsland advice, from people who live here.

Thirty minutes. In our office, at your kitchen table, or by video. No fee, no obligation. You will leave knowing more than when you started, even if you never come back.
