Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.I am a professional financial adviser, qualified to provide financial advice to clients in the areas of investment portfolio construction and management, superannuation and social security.Specifically I am accredited with the Age Care Gurus, to provide specialised financial advice in the important and growing area of Aged Care.Trying to balance all of the considerations of ensuring access to the care that is needed whilst attempting to work out what is affordable to receive that care can seem like an impossible task. The best way to fund aged care will depend upon an individual’s financial circumstances and wishes. Working in consultation with the Service Managers of the largest aged care facilities in Victoria, I am able to construct a cost effective strategy for both purchasing the accommodation bond and establishing the income stream required to account for the associated daily costs.Most importantly in line with the aged care legislation, I am able to offer multiple options for the family to assess so that they are fully aware of their options and how they will affect changing circumstances.I am able to liaise with the Department of Human Services directly to ensure that the administration side of aged care is simplified and straight forward without any further concern for both the family and the facility.As a qualified aged care adviser I am often requested by the facilities to make public presentations about the financial aspects of the aged care system.I enjoy the personal satisfaction I receive from each client I have assisted and whilst the aged care system is constantly evolving to account for the growing elderly population, I have developed an advisory style that is engaging, empathetic to client’s wishes and concerns and ultimately successful to achieving the required outcomes.
