Is your insurance cover owned by you, or by your super fund's trustee?

It's a question most people never think to ask, and the answer changes more than you'd expect: how your premiums are taxed, how a payout is taxed on the way out, and what has to happen before a claim is released.

Cover held inside super goes through the trustee first, who needs to be satisfied you meet a condition of release before funds are paid, an extra step that cover held outside super doesn't have.

Swipe through for the full breakdown of ownership, tax treatment, and what changes at claim time. If you're not sure which structure your own cover sits in, that's worth a conversation.

From first phone call to a plan on track, here's Phill's experience, in his own words 💬

"Recently had to seek financial advice and could not have spoken to a better company. Our first contact was with Jordyn, who laid out all the details, then follow-up calls from Maddie & Jack. To say we were well informed of what was going to happen and how things would work is an understatement. We are now on track and our future goals are set."

This is exactly the kind of experience we aim for, clear from the very first call.

Stepped or level premium, do you know the difference? Because picking the wrong one could cost you thousands over time.

In this video, we break down the different premium structures available and what's actually worth considering before you choose one, it's not just about what's cheapest today.

If you're not sure which structure suits your situation, that's exactly what we help clients work through.

Short, sweet, and exactly why we love it 💬

"I've been with Oakview for a while now and it's been nothing but positive. Everyone has been great to deal with, constantly keeping me informed with regular reports, updates and changes." - Bryce

Consistent communication is something we take seriously, you shouldn't have to chase updates on your own money.

Australia is often described as one of the highest-taxed countries in the developed world, and yet it keeps showing up on lists of the best places to invest. How does that add up?

With this year's Federal Budget bringing real change to the way capital gains, property, and trusts are taxed, a lot of people are asking whether Australia's "investor haven" reputation still holds.

Here's our take: it was never really about paying less tax. It's about the stability of the system and how well your strategy adapts when the rules shift.

If the recent Budget changes have left you uncertain about where you stand, that's exactly what an annual review is for.

Say hello to Evie Van Twest, this year's Oakview Financial Planning Scholarship recipient. 🎓

Evie is studying a Bachelor of Business, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning. What started as an interest in commerce back in high school shifted toward financial planning, where she found a stronger connection to the career she wants to build.

After graduating, her next steps include:

- Completing her professional year
- Sitting the Financial Adviser exam
- Becoming a registered financial adviser

Outside her studies, she balances part-time work with guitar, travel, time by the water, and her dog.

"It makes me feel supported as I have a successful company who back me and believe in me."

We're proud to back the next generation of financial advisers.

Follow along as Evie takes her next steps toward a career in financial planning.

Sometimes a review says more than we ever could 💬

"Really listen to my needs and wants. Realistic in forecasting outcomes and projections. Make you feel part of the Oakview family, not just another number. They really seem to care and want the best outcome for you financially, delivering a 'you first' attitude. Every employee I've spoken with on my journey so far is happy and loves what they do, you don't say that, but I've been around long enough to notice these things. I hand-on-heart fully recommend these guys to take the stress and worry out of your investment and retirement funding." - Jason

That's the kind of culture we're proud to build.

There's been a lot happening in the world of money lately, global markets wobbled in late July, the ASX had a strong month, and a new financial year brought some real changes to superannuation (bigger caps, a higher transfer balance cap, and new tax rules for balances over $3 million).

We've broken it all down in our August update, swipe through to see what's changed and what it might mean for you.

As always, if you want to talk through how any of this applies to your situation, our team's here to help. 💬

If something happened tomorrow, could your family keep the house, the lifestyle, the life you've built together?

That's really what insurance and wealth protection comes down to. In this video, we're walking through what it actually covers and why it matters more than most people realise, it's often overlooked until it's needed.

If you're not sure what cover you have, what you actually need, or whether you're paying for the right things, that's exactly the kind of thing we help sort out.
