Solstice Finance

Solstice Finance Local Independent Finance Broker. We identify the best bank for your unique situation

15/09/2026

This morning I attended a really valuable MFAA professional development session focused on financial hardship — and there were a couple of statistics that really stayed with me.

1 in 5 Australians will experience financial hardship at some point in their lifetime.

And over the past 12 months, mortgages have overtaken tax debt as the greatest source of enquiries for assistance to the National Debt Helpline.

Behind those statistics are real people and families who may be feeling overwhelmed, embarrassed or simply unsure where to start.

One of the most important messages from today was this: the sooner you have the conversation, the more options there may be available to you.

If you're struggling to meet your mortgage or other financial commitments, please don't wait until things reach crisis point. Speak with your broker, your lender or a financial counsellor. While we can't solve every situation ourselves, we can listen, help you understand your options and, importantly, connect you with organisations that can provide specialist support and advocate on your behalf.

Sometimes financial difficulty is part of a much bigger picture, and knowing how to recognise the signs and where to direct someone for the right support really matters.

I also walked away this morning feeling incredibly proud to be part of an industry that cares so passionately about improving the lives of others.

It’s one thing to want to help. It’s another to actively invest in educating ourselves, having the difficult conversations and equipping our industry with the tools and knowledge to better support people when they need it most.

For me, that’s what our role is ultimately about — people first, finance second.

📞 Small Business Debt Helpline: 1800 413 828

There is help available. And starting the conversation early can make a very real difference.

AT THE HEART OF SOLSTICE | MEET KYLIE

I guess you could say this one is where it all began.

Solstice was created with intention. I wanted to build a finance business that felt different — one where people were never just a loan application or a number.

After years in finance, I knew that some of the biggest financial decisions we make happen at turning points in our lives. Buying a first home, growing a family, building a business, investing for the future or sometimes simply needing help to find a better financial path forward.

I started Solstice because I wanted to create a place where people could come for more than finance. Somewhere they could ask questions, build their knowledge, understand their options and feel genuinely supported in making decisions about their future.

That same philosophy extends to our team. I wanted to build a workplace where good people could grow, challenge themselves, share their strengths and genuinely enjoy coming to work — because I believe when you look after your people, they look after your clients.

Solstice has grown considerably since those early days, but the intention behind it hasn't changed.

Guide. Educate. Empower.

That’s why Solstice exists — and it’s still what drives me today.

Why do I do what you do?
Time is precious. I love being able to use my knowledge and experience to make finance easier for my clients — taking away some of the stress and giving them back time to focus on the people and things that matter most.
Helping people while getting to work with numbers every day? That’s my kind of win-win!

What do I enjoy helping clients with? (fav niche)
Self-employed business owners

What's one piece of financial advice you wish everyone knew?
Knowledge is power. We aren’t taught enough about finances at school, but pleading ignorance or putting your head in the sand won’t protect you from the consequences.
Educate yourself, surround yourself with people who can build your knowledge, and know where you stand financially. The sooner you understand where you are, the sooner you can make a plan — and often, the earlier you act, the easier things are to turn around.

AT THE HEART OF SOLSTICE | MEET MEGAN

Every great team needs people who bring different strengths to the table — and Megan is one of those people who makes Solstice stronger.

An incredibly talented and experienced broker, Megan brings a wealth of knowledge to our team, but it’s the way she uses that experience that makes her such an asset.

She is constantly challenging herself, looking for solutions and fighting for the best possible outcome for her clients. She doesn’t give up easily — something that anyone who has seen her on the softball field probably already knows!

Megan and Kylie complement each other incredibly well. They each bring different strengths, perspectives and experience, and there’s a genuine respect and trust between them that allows them to support and challenge each other along the way.

Whether she’s working through a complex lending scenario or stepping up to the plate, Megan brings the same commitment, determination and tenacity.

We’re incredibly lucky to have her at the heart of Solstice, let's get to know her a bit better...

Why do you do what you do?
I love being able to help my clients achieve their dreams of home ownership while building long-lasting relationships along the way.

What do you most enjoy helping clients with?
First Home Buyers and Debt Consolidation.

What’s one piece of financial advice you wish everyone knew?
The importance of having a budget — and reviewing it regularly. It’s the best way to understand what you actually spend, rather than what you think you spend!

AT THE HEART OF SOLSTICE | MEET STORM

A little over a year ago, Storm joined Solstice having never worked in finance before… and it’s probably fair to say we threw her straight in at the deep end! 😆

What Storm did bring with her was a wealth of experience across different industries, exceptional customer service skills and, most importantly, a genuine desire to help people.

And that’s something you can’t teach.

Over the past year, we’ve watched Storm embrace an entirely new industry with enthusiasm and determination. She is always eager to learn, never afraid to tackle something new and genuinely cares about making things easier for our clients.

But beyond what she brings to Solstice professionally, Storm is simply a beautiful all-round human — kind, caring, thoughtful and always willing to help someone else.

We took a chance on someone without finance experience, and we’re so glad we did. Sometimes the right person isn’t the one who already knows the industry — it’s the one with the character, curiosity and willingness to learn.

We feel pretty lucky to have Storm at the heart of Solstice, let's get to know her a little better…

What does your role at Solstice involve?
I’m part of our Client Services team, supporting our brokers and clients throughout the loan process. I help keep everything running smoothly and make sure our clients feel informed and supported from application right through to settlement and beyond.

What do you enjoy most about your role?
Definitely the customer service side. I love building relationships with our clients, helping them navigate the process and being part of what is often a really significant milestone in their lives.

Favourite part of working at Solstice?
Without a doubt, the people. I work alongside an amazing group of women who genuinely support and encourage each other. We celebrate the wins, help each other through the challenges and have created a workplace that feels positive, caring and empowering.

AT THE HEART OF SOLSTICE
Meet Halle

Solstice is much more than finance. It’s the people behind it, the values we share and the way we choose to support our clients — so we thought it was time you got to know the people at the heart of Solstice.

Halle’s journey with Solstice started last year when she joined us for work experience.

It didn’t take long for her to impress us. Her attitude, willingness to learn and genuine interest in finance stood out, so we offered her a traineeship.

At Solstice, we strongly believe in creating opportunities for the next generation — and particularly in encouraging and supporting young women to build careers in mortgage broking and finance.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of the beginning of Halle’s career and can’t wait to see where it takes her.

So, we thought it was time you got to know her a little better…

What attracted you to a career in finance?
I’ve always been interested in mortgage broking and the process of helping people secure finance and purchase property. I’ve also had some exposure to the industry through family, which sparked my interest even more. I’m excited to build my knowledge and experience and hopefully pursue a career in mortgage broking.

What have you enjoyed learning so far?
Learning how the loan process actually works! It’s something we don’t really learn about at school, so it’s all been completely new to me. I’ve loved understanding the different steps involved and learning more about the industry.

Favourite thing about working at Solstice?
Definitely the people! Megan and Storm have been so supportive and patient while teaching me, and Kylie has created such a welcoming and positive place to work. I feel really lucky to be learning alongside such a great team.

Why doesn’t commercial lending come with a simple interest rate?

When it comes to commercial finance, the rate you’re offered often isn’t just about how much you want to borrow.

Lenders can assess each deal individually, looking at the strength of the business, the security being offered, the industry you operate in, what the funds will be used for and how the loan is structured.

And importantly — different lenders can assess the same business very differently.

That’s where having the right finance strategy matters.

We help our commercial clients look beyond just “what’s the rate?” to consider the overall structure, cost, flexibility and suitability of the finance — and identify which lenders are likely to view their scenario most favourably.

Whether you’re purchasing commercial property, investing in equipment, refinancing existing debt or funding your next stage of growth, it’s worth having the conversation before approaching a lender.

Commercial finance isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your lending strategy shouldn’t be either.

Buying a home can feel like there are a lot of moving parts — especially if it’s your first time. 🏡

But you don’t need to understand every step before you start. That’s what we’re here for.

From working out what you can comfortably afford, to pre-approval, finding the right property, navigating the application and finally getting those keys 🔑 — we’re there to guide you through the process, answer the questions and help keep everything moving.

Because getting a home loan isn’t just about reaching settlement. It’s about making informed decisions along the way and feeling confident about what comes next.

Thinking about buying? Start with Step 1 — have a chat with us.
You might be closer than you think. ☀️
