Superannuation Strategies Made
Simple, Strategic and Personal.
Assess your current super position
We begin by reviewing your existing super including your fund, fees, performance and investment options. This gives us a baseline understanding of what’s working, what’s costing you and where there’s opportunity for improvement.
Define your super strategy
Your superannuation strategy should align with your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Whether you’re aiming to accelerate growth, manage risk, or maximise retirement income, we help you chart a path forward.
Use concessional & non‑concessional contributions
We help you structure salary sacrifice, concessional contributions, and non‑concessional contributions (where allowed) so your super grows efficiently and in line with Australian tax rules.
Consider transition, pension & withdrawal strategies
When retirement nears, you’ll need to decide how to draw down or convert your super into income streams. We help with transition-to-retirement strategies, account‑based pensions, and withdrawal planning.
Advise on SMSF setup, structure & management
If SMSF is appropriate for you, we’ll guide you through structuring, investment rules, compliance, administration and governance so your SMSF is robust and aligned with your strategy.
Review, monitor & adapt over time
Super rules, markets and your situation change. We review your strategy regularly, adjust investment options, revisit contribution plans and ensure your super continues to support your goals.

Got questions? We have the answers.
How much should I have in Superannuation?
According to Canstar, here’s the recommended super balance you should have for a comfortable retirement based on your age group:
| Age | Recommended super balance required for comfortable retirement |
|---|---|
| 30 | $54,000 |
| 40 | $143,000 |
| 50 | $257,000 |
| 60 | $415,000 |
If you are worried that you won’t have enough super for your retirement, receiving professional advice and guidance can help you develop strategies to take control of your superannuation assets and achieve better outcomes.
How much can I contribute to my superannuation?
From 1 July 2021:
- The non-concessional contribution cap will be $100,000 to $110,000. Members under 65 years of age may be able to make non-concessional contributions of up to three times the annual non-concessional contribution cap in a single year.
- The general concessional contribution cap is $27,500 for all individuals regardless of age.
It’s important to remember that there are limits to the amount of super you can contribute as well as regulations around contributing. It is always best to seek professional superannuation advice to ensure you adhere to super fund regulations and avoid penalties.
What is a Concessional Contribution?
A concessional contribution is made from before-tax income and is taxed at 15% in your super fund. Common examples of concessional contributions include:
- compulsory employer superannuation guarantee contributions,
- salary sacrifice arrangements, and
- any personal super contributions that you claim as a tax deduction.
What is a Non-Concessional Contribution?
A non-concessional contribution is made from after-tax income and is not taxed in your super fund. Common examples of non-concessional contributions include:
- voluntary additional payments made from your after-tax income,
- any made on behalf of your spouse (married or de facto),
- a government co-contribution.
When can I access my superannuation?
Generally, you must reach preservation age before you can access your superannuation per ATO rules.
| Date of birth | Preservation age |
|---|---|
| Before 1 July 1960 | 55 |
| 1 July 1960 – 30 June 1961 | 56 |
| 1 July 1961 – 30 June 1962 | 57 |
| 1 July 1962 – 30 June 1963 | 58 |
| 1 July 1963 – 30 June 1964 | 59 |
| From 1 July 1964 | 60 |
