| 5/4/26 |  Timing Your Super Contributions | Stuart Sheary from the Institute of Financial Professionals of Australia (www.ifpa.com.au) joins us for part 1 of a 2 part series on how to develop a contribution strategy for your concessional and non-concessional contributions for your super, and why timings these contributions will become increasingly important. Why? Because indexation and higher inflation is raising limits for your balance caps almost yearly, and knowing when to and when NOT to contribute could save you thousands in tax. | — | ||||||
| 4/20/26 |  Super Changes July 2026 - Part 2 | Natasha Panagis, superannuation expert for IFPA (www.ifpa.com.au) joins me this week to work through an expansive show in the second part covering the major changes happening in our superannuation system.

| 4/13/26 |  Div296 Timing | Michelle Griffiths, a CPA and a FP rolled into one, a rare gem, and we're pleased to have her on the show discussing some nuance around the new Div296 legislation coming into play from 1 July 2026. Natasha and Stuart from IFPA have explained the facts, now we have a different perspective from Michelle on timing. To do nothing sometimes is the best strategy - if you know what the strategy should be. This week, we delve into some aspects on when to act with regard to super balances that need attention as a result of the upcoming laws. Not to be missed, on Dollars & Making Sense. | — | ||||||
| 3/30/26 |  Super Dependents | Stuart Sheary, subject matter expert from IFPA (Institute of Financial Professionals of Australia) joins us as we start navigating through some major changes in our superannuation system. Much vaunted since compulsory super came in 30+ years ago, it can get increasingly complex. Determining who can and can't be paid a death benefit and what tax may apply is a subject of many assumptions and incorrect information. This week we seek to inform, educate and hopefully untangle some preconceptions surrounding what happens when a family member dies, and the estate and super are part of the settlement. Nasty tax bills could arise if you're not careful or informed. | — | ||||||

Part 1 will cover changes in Div 296 (I told you they wouldn't tax unrealised gains!) for super balances at $3m and $10m with some excellent examples of what the Div 296 will actually impact. Its nowhere near as bad as the pundits and scaremongers would have you think. | — | ||||||

| 3/9/26 |  Reverse Mortgages | This week, Justin Bott, Media Information Office from Services Australia (also known as Centrelink) comes on to discuss the pros and cons of reverse mortgages.

As always, contact a professional adviser if you're not sure, and just in case. | — | ||||||
