The Phase 3 Difference: Planning for your entire retirement journey

Most financial planners focus on getting you to retirement. We focus on helping you thrive through every phase of retirement. Our unique three phase approach ensures you're prepared for the journey ahead, not just the destination.

Your 3 Phases of Retirement

Phase 1 (Ages 60-75)

Phase 2 (Ages 75+)

Phase 3

Celebrate + Splurge

This is your time to enjoy the freedom you've earned.

You've worked hard - now it's time to celebrate! Whether it's that new car, home renovations, downsizing to your dream location, or exploring the world, Phase 1 is about enjoying the active retirement you've always imagined.

How we help: We plan ahead to ensure your Phase 1 dreams become reality, including structuring your finances to fund your adventures.

Relax + Enjoy

Settle into a comfortable lifestyle with financial peace of mind.

Phase 2 often brings a shift toward local travel around beautiful Australia, spending time with family and enjoying the comfort of a well-planned retirement. This phase is about maintaining your lifestyle with confidence.

How we help: Our retirement plans ensure you have the financial security to fully embrace Phase 2 and support your relaxed lifestyle.

Health + Care

Navigate this important transition with dignity and preparedness.

Phase 3 may involve slowing down, managing health changes, or considering retirement villages, home care, or aged care. This phase is often overlooked in planning, yet it's when you and your family need the most support.

How we help: Planning for Phase 3 removed the uncertainty and stress for both you and your family. Understanding your options in advance means better decisions and preserved wealth when the time comes.
