Turned 60 and still working full-time? A Transition to Retirement income stream could let you work fewer days without losing income, and from 60 it's generally tax-free.

Do you have to sell the family home for aged care? The answer surprises most families.

The former home is treated in a particular way in the means assessment — its assessable value is capped rather than counted in full, and in some circumstances it may be exempt altogether. How you fund accommodation interacts with whether the home is kept, rented or sold, and each path has different consequences.

We walk through how to think about this properly in the full guide.

Staying at home is usually the cheaper way into aged care — and it's the path most families overlook.

Home care avoids the residential basic daily fee and any accommodation payment, so it's usually less expensive out of pocket than residential care for someone with similar needs. Understanding this pathway well before residential care becomes the only option is genuinely worth doing early.

We explain both pathways, and how the costs compare, in the full guide.

If someone offers to help you 'unlock' your super early, that's not tax minimisation — it's illegal.

Illegal early release schemes are a persistent problem, and accessing super outside the legal conditions of release carries serious penalties — for you, not just the promoter. Legitimate tax planning uses the concessions the system already provides. It never involves getting around your super's access rules.

We cover what genuine tax planning looks like in the full guide.

Didn't use your full super contribution cap in past years? You may be able to catch up in one go.

The carry-forward rule lets you use unused concessional cap amounts from the past five years, provided your total super balance was under $500,000 at the last 30 June. It's one of the most underused concessions in the system — genuinely useful if you've had a career break, variable income, or a higher-income year you'd like to offset.

Whether it applies to you depends on your own numbers — we cover exactly how in the full guide.

You can access your super at 60. The Age Pension doesn't start until 67. What fills the seven years in between?

If you stop working at 60, your super and other savings may be your sole source of income until you reach Age Pension age. Bridging that gap deliberately — rather than assuming it will sort itself out — is one of the most important pieces of a retirement plan. We walk through how to think about it properly in our full guide.

Still planning around accessing your super at 55?

That rule hasn't applied for years. Preservation age used to depend on your date of birth, and for people born before July 1960 it was 55. That transition finished years ago. Today, preservation age is 60 for everyone — no exceptions.

If your plan is still built around the old number, it's worth a second look.

Still in the super investment option your employer chose for you years ago? For a large proportion of Australians in their 50s, that "safe" default balanced or conservative option is actually one of the costliest mistakes we see in the lead-up to retirement. If you're planning to retire in five years, your money still needs to last 30 — and being too conservative now is a financial risk, not a safety net.

We've written a full guide covering this mistake and six others we've seen consistently over years of financial advice — specific to Melbourne pre-retirees, and a five-minute read.

You have two years to sell your inherited family home tax-free. After that, the rules change.

Hold onto it longer, or rent it out, and a partial capital gain may start to apply. In Melbourne's property market, that difference can run into real money.

We walk through exactly how the two-year rule works, and what to check before it closes.

Inheriting your parents' super? It might not be tax-free — even though the house is.

Superannuation sits outside the will and is taxed differently depending on who receives it. A surviving spouse generally receives it tax-free. An independent adult child — the most common scenario — generally doesn't, and can face tax on the taxable component of that super.

We break down exactly who pays what, and why, in our latest guide.
