Could you have super you’ve forgotten about? 💰

There is now more than $21 billion in lost and unclaimed super waiting to be reunited with Australians.

Changing jobs, moving house or simply losing track of an old super fund can be enough for money to be forgotten.

It’s worth checking and not just for yourself.

Ask your family too 👨‍👩‍👧

Your parents may have old super they’ve lost track of and might appreciate some help navigating myGov. Your kids may have several accounts from casual or part-time jobs and have never thought to check them.

You might be surprised by what you find.

And if you do find another account, don’t automatically consolidate it ⚠️ Check what insurance and other benefits you could be giving up first.

We’ve put together a simple guide explaining how lost super happens, how to find it, and what to consider if you discover another account.

💰 Payday Super is a win for Australian workers

From 1 July 2026, many employers will begin moving towards paying superannuation at the same time as your wages.

While it may not seem like a big change, it could make a meaningful difference to your retirement savings over time.

Why?

✅ Your money starts working for you sooner, giving it more time to benefit from investment returns and compound growth.

✅ Regular contributions help take advantage of dollar cost averaging – investing consistently over time means you’ll automatically buy more units when markets are lower and fewer when they’re higher, reducing the temptation to try and “time the market.”

✅ It also makes it easier to see if your employer is paying your super correctly, rather than waiting until the end of each quarter.

Small changes, consistently applied over many years, can have a significant impact on your retirement.

If you’d like to understand how this change fits into your broader retirement strategy, we’re always happy to help.

🏠 Proposed Changes to SMSF Property Borrowing

The Greens have confirmed they will support Labor’s Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Bill 2026 through the Senate, covering changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing and discretionary trusts.

As part of that agreement, Labor has reportedly agreed to ban Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) from using Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs) to acquire residential property.

While the legislation has not yet passed and important details are still to be confirmed, current reports suggest:

✅The proposed ban is aimed at residential property only
✅Commercial property borrowing through SMSFs does not appear to be affected
✅ Existing arrangements may be grandfathered, although this has not yet been confirmed

For anyone currently in the process of purchasing a residential property through their SMSF using borrowings, now may be the time to seek advice and understand your options.

As always, the detail matters, and we’ll continue to monitor developments as more information becomes available.

Labor’s controversial tax bill that includes changes to the capital gains and negative gearing will become law after securing support from the Greens.

RBA Update 📢

The Reserve Bank has left the official cash rate unchanged at 4.35% today. After three rate rises earlier this year, the RBA has opted to pause and assess how the economy responds.

For borrowers, today’s decision should mean no immediate change to variable home loan rates. For savers and retirees, higher interest rates continue to support cash and term deposit returns.

As always, interest rates are just one piece of the puzzle. The right strategy depends on your individual circumstances, goals and timeframe.

If you’d like to discuss how the current rate environment may affect your financial plan, please get in touch.

Tonight’s Federal Budget has already sparked strong debate across Australia.

With changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, some believe the reforms could improve housing affordability for future generations. Others argue investors may now shift focus towards shares and superannuation, which were largely left untouched in this budget.

As always, every budget creates both winners and losers depending on your circumstances and long-term strategy.

What’s your view? Vote below:
👍 Resilience & Reform
😡 Broken Promises

In the first full budget since Labor's landslide election victory last year, the government is putting some money back in workers' pockets and increasing taxes on investors. So who wins and who misses out?
