If you’ve received your bowel screening kit, don’t put it off. It’s quick, simple, and could save your life.

MYTH: Financial planning is complicated and too hard to understand.

Have higher interest rates made aged care more expensive? Yes, but not in the way you might think.

The average aged care room now costs around $570,000. The good news is you don't have to pay that upfront. You can choose a daily payment instead, but here's the catch: that daily amount is calculated using a government-set interest rate, and as rates have risen, so has the cost of paying this way.

At today's rate, a $570,000 room works out to roughly $132 a day if paid daily. A few years ago it was about half that.

The choice of how you pay is always yours, and despite what some people believe, providers can't force you to pay a lump sum.

Our latest blog breaks down:

✅ Your three payment options (lump sum, daily payment, or both)
✅ How the government interest rate affects your costs
✅ Why the right choice depends on your circumstances

💭 Myth vs Fact

❌ Myth: "I earn a good income, so I don't need a budget."

✅ Fact: No matter how much you earn, a budget helps you stay in control of your money.

It's easy for spending to increase as your income grows. Having a budget means you know where your money is going and can make informed decisions about saving, investing and reaching your financial goals.

A budget isn't about cutting out the things you enjoy—it's about making your money work for you.

If you could go back and give your 20-year-old self three pieces of financial advice, what would they be?

We'll start...

1. Learn how compound interest works and start investing as early as you can.
2. Live below your means, not your income.
3. Build an emergency fund before you need one.

It's easy to look back with hindsight, but the lessons we learn along the way can help others make smarter financial decisions.

What's one piece of financial advice you'd give your younger self?
Share it in the comments. You never know who it might help.

Want to make smarter financial decisions today, not just wish you had years ago? Contact the Insight Wealth Planning team to start building a financial plan for your future https://www.insightadvice.com.au

💛 July is Sarcoma Awareness Month

This month is an important reminder to know your body and not ignore changes that don’t seem quite right.

Sarcoma is a rare group of cancers that can affect bone and soft tissue. It often has no obvious symptoms in its early stages, making awareness and early detection especially important.

If you notice a new or unusual lump, or any persistent changes, book an appointment with your GP to have it checked. Early detection can make a significant difference.

Let’s help spread awareness, encourage regular self-checks, and support those living with and beyond sarcoma.

For more information about soft tissue sarcoma, visit the Cancer Council website or call 13 11 20 for free information and support.

REQUEST TO TREE LOPPERS AND LANDSCAPERS

Over many years, the Botanic Gardens has been supplied with free mulch for our gardens by local tree loppers and landscapers. It's been a win-win situation as the Gardens is a convenient drop off point for large quantities of surplus mulch from tree work carried out in the local community.

Unfortunately, our supplies have dried up and we are desperately seeking to renew our stockpile.

If you are the owner of a tree lopping or landscaping business or know someone who is, we would love to hear from you.

Please phone: 49871655 or email: [email protected] if you can help. See less

A great evening at our Pathway to Wealth seminar, hosted by our Financial Adviser, Josh McCall, in collaboration with Finance Empire Australia.

Thank you to everyone who came along. It was fantastic to share practical insights and have some great conversations about building wealth and making informed financial decisions.

We appreciate everyone who attended and look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Last night we hosted our “Pathway to Wealth” seminar in collaboration with our financial planning partners at Insight Wealth Planning.

In a world full of misinformation—especially across social media—having the right guidance matters more than ever. That’s why working with an experienced mortgage broker team at Finance Empire Australia, supported by qualified financial planners, can make a real difference when it comes to making informed financial decisions.

No two financial situations are the same, and personalised advice is key to building a strategy that actually fits your goals—not someone else’s.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a valuable evening.

Stay tuned for our next event
