Plan your retirement with confidence – Mingara
We’re bringing our ‘Plan Your Retirement with Confidence’ seminar to Mingara on Wednesday 15 April.
Whether you’re just beginning to think about retirement or actively planning your transition, this seminar is for you. Our retirement experts will answer your big questions around setting yourself up for financial success in retirement.
Find out:
- ways you can retire sooner
- how you can build your super balance but reduce your tax while working
- how you can keep your super balance invested (and earning a return!) while receiving a tax-free income in retirement
- how to use super and the Age Pension together to maximise your income each week.
You’ll gain valuable guidance on financial readiness, lifestyle planning and smart-decision making for retirement – plus the opportunity to ask questions and learn from others on a similar journey.
Available to members and non-members, this seminar is free to attend and designed to help you start planning your retirement with confidence.

More about Andrew
Building on a successful career in the finance sector, Andrew followed his passion for meeting people by moving into financial advice. Andrew is driven by wanting to help people, especially when it comes to finances.
Andrew enjoys taking complex subjects like superannuation and breaking them down into bite-sized, relatable examples for members. He says, “Nothing beats the satisfaction of watching a member understand a financial concept or strategy, and making a difference to their life, it’s extremely rewarding”.
Andrew enjoys the flexibility of super and the way it can be adapted to meet member needs. He likes to guide his members through each of life’s stages showing them how their super and financial management needs can be adapted as their circumstances change; from the first stages of their working career, expanding their family, the empty-nest stage and of course, arguably the best part, retirement.
He is a firm believer that you don’t need to have a large retirement balance to seek advice. Financial advice can change the lives of members with even the smallest balances. The key to a successful partnership with clients is to listen. He believes it’s an honour to have members share their lives with you, and it’s important to share something with them too.
In his downtime Andrew enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to gigs, jamming with his bass guitar and playing football (soccer). In fact, Andrew started a successful soccer club in a small ‘league and rugby-only’ town in regional NSW. In the first summer, the club had over 400 children register to play.
The club grew exponentially to accommodate many children, teen and adult teams who competed in NSW and ACT. To honour his contribution to his community, Andrew was presented with an Australia Day Community Award, by the lead singer of Ice House, Iva Davies!

“We both found Andrew to be very professional, reliable and informative and would highly recommend him to others.”
“Andrew is very professional with clear easy to understand explanations as well as a great caring person!”
