End of financial year tax and super strategies: what you need to know
As the end of the financial year (EOFY) approaches, it’s an important time to assess your tax position and superannuation strategy. With regulatory changes coming into effect from 1 July, this period offers a timely opportunity to put effective plans in place.
Whether you’re focused on minimising your tax, building retirement savings, or making sure you’re compliant, EOFY is your annual reminder to act—and act smartly.

Retirement can be a fulfilling and enriching stage of life, even more so when it’s approached with purpose and creativity. For those over 70 who are single, whether by choice, separation, or the loss of a life partner, keeping active, socially engaged, and mentally stimulated becomes even more crucial for emotional well-being and physical health.
