At First Financial Services, we develop tailored step-by-step financial strategies and help you make informed decisions about your money.

Superannuation, often called super, is a way to save for your retirement. You build up super while you are working to make sure you can have a comfortable retirement.

Super is a tax effective environment for your money. Both you and your employer can deposit money into your account. Your money will attract investment earnings, and when you reach your ‘preservation age’, you are able to start drawing on these funds.

Your employer must pay a proportion of your salary into a super fund. This is called the Superannuation Guarantee and has been increased to 10% per annum since July 1st 2021. It will increase by 0.5% each year until it reaches 12% in 2025.

Life takes twists and turns that we can’t always see coming. That’s why it’s so important that we are prepared for life’s emergencies. You don’t want to leave it to chance.

An accident, sickness or death of a working age parent will almost always have a significant impact on the financial circumstances of the family.

Having the right insurances in place can help protect your family and your income if the unexpected occurs.

Borrowing money is easy these days and that’s why it’s even easier to get into debt.

But, not all debt is bad debt.

Having a debt management plan in place and understanding the different between good and bad debt could help you make better financial decisions.

Knowing how to manage your debt can help you take control of your financial future and manage your cashflow.

Retirement means different things to different people. For some, traveling around in Australia in a caravan is a life-long dream but for others flying at the pointy end of the plane and staying in 5-star hotels around the world is more how they see life after work. Or maybe spending more time with the grandkids or volunteering in your local community rate high on your list of retirement goals.

We all have different ideas of what the second half of our lives looks like and that’s why planning for your retirement is so important.

Estate Planning gives you the peace of mind that the people you care about are looked after if something happens to you.

You should consider estate planning if you have assets, whether it’s a house, superannuation, investments and/or a business.

More than just a Will estate planning helps you arrange your assets so that your life savings end up in the right hands, at the right time.

Aged Care is a complicated area to fully understand. There is a lot of information to sift through and the conversation is sometimes a tricky one to approach. We help to make navigating aged care easier for you and your family.

The financial issues of aged care are complex and you need to obtain an accurate understanding of the facts as they apply to you and your unique needs. Just getting a basic understanding of what forms to complete, when to complete them and where to send them can be a difficult path the navigate.
