Centrelink Liaison Service
Overwhelmed by the Regulations, the volume of forms and information required by Centrelink? Confused about what may be available to you and the best way to maximise your retirement entitlements?
We offer a unique service to assist you to manage your financial affairs in retirement.
As your appointed nominee, we will liaise with Centrelink on your behalf. This means that we are able to handle all of your Centrelink and Department of Veterans Affairs issues for you and ensure that you receive your correct entitlements. We help you determine your investment needs and provide access to a wide range of fund managers to place funds to your best advantage. We take the hassle out of dealing with Centrelink.
We will provide the initial analysis of your entitlements, complete applications for benefits, attend face to face meetings at Centrelink to answer any questions they may have, deal with ongoing correspondence and liaise the regular updating of your records with the appropriate departments once you are established. This is an ongoing service.
Our administration team has been providing Centrelink Liaison to clients for the past 9 years and we are good at what we do. (Naturally clients on the Centrelink Liaison Service do have a responsibility to let us know if there is a change to their circumstances that should be passed on to Centrelink – we are pretty good but it needs to be a team effort… and we can point out the sorts of things that we need to know).
Today, more than ever it is difficult to be all things to all people so when clients have needs that are outside the scope of our financial planning expertise, we are happy to refer them to other professionals to ensure that their needs are catered for. Obviously Sam and his team at Opus Accounting can take care of your accounting and tax needs but we can also refer you to other professionals for;
– Finance & Leasing
– Car, Home and Business Insurance
– Wills and Estate Planning Advice
