Business owners hitting growth milestones who need more than just tax advice to make confident decisions about their personal and business wealth.
Families facing the emotional and financial complexity of moving a loved one into aged care, who need expert guidance to make the best decisions.
Self-funded retirees who want to live their best life without constantly wondering if their money will last.
Businesses and family offices who need objective, strategic expertise to strengthen their investment decisions.
People considering the move to a retirement community, who want clarity around options, costs and protecting their wealth.
As a team-owned, self-licensed firm, we have the freedom to put your interests first, without pressure from banks or corporate headquarters.
After 25+ years of helping clients navigate market shifts and life changes, we’ve learned that real financial confidence comes from advice that considers your entire life picture – from family goals to lifestyle dreams.
Our expertise isn’t just in managing money – it’s in helping you develop sustainable habits and making complex decisions simple.
RFS Advice understands that making aged care decisions on behalf of a parent or family member is as much of a financial challenge as an emotional one.
Navigating all the different lifestyle and healthcare options is just as hard as trying to understand complex fee structures and financial regulations. There are often time pressures to deal with as well. No wonder so many people find it overwhelming.
That’s why our specialist aged care advice team will give you strong support – both financial and emotional. We’ve done this many times before and will guide you towards making the right decision for your loved one.

William Fields2024-05-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a problem with my pension/income tax, spoke to Nicky, received clear and articulated advice, very pleasant and professional. Thanks Nicky Andree Holmes2024-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Belinda talked me through the aged care processes in a manner that was easily understood. Compared to other places that have made this process so confusing. She was kind, compassionate and very professional. Her advice has been invaluable and we are very grateful. I highly recommend her services Glen Barratt2023-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The level of expertise and professionalism of this company is outstanding and thanks to Niki, my retirement transition has been seamless. RFS are always available to discuss any concerns and always explain all of my questions comprehensively. Daryl Burleigh2023-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had our Super managed by RFS for 6 years and have been very satisfied with their professionalism, transparency, knowledge and just nice people to deal with. I considered running my own self managed Super Fund when I retired but after talking with Troy, I soon realised how much I didn't know and the time that would be required to monitor and manage investments. We live in NSW and have a Zoom meeting twice a year but Troy and his team are always happy to discuss any concerns we have any time and always keep us informed if changes are required. Part of their logo is 'Making Work Optional' and that has certainly worked for us. I cannot recommend RFS highly enough. Rosie Hargreaves2023-11-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love working with Belinda and the team at RFS Advice, we have found them to be very professional and responsive while providing personalised services to assist us in achieving our goals of making work optional. Claire Robinson2023-11-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently changed Financial Advisors as RFS was recommended to us by a good friend. To say we are happy is an understatement. RFS took the time to listen to our needs, taking into account all factors surrounding our finances. They prepared a very thorough financial plan which is regularly reviewed. I am now confident that we will retire and have the funds available to live the life we want! They are prompt, professional and courteous. I highly recommend them. Peter Simons2023-11-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RFS have been managing my finances for about a decade now with both managed investments and superannuation. Having never had a financial advisor previously I was sceptical as to what to expect however I have come to realise that without Troy and Nikki's advise my retirement would be very different and not in a good way. I had it all planned out that I would rent going forward until Troy insisted that I buy and for that particular piece of timely advise I am forever grateful. Throughout my time with RFS if I had a concern or needed clarification it was only a phone call away and if on occasions they were busy I'd always get a return call the same day even whilst working in the pacific. I just wish I had known about RFS earlier. Exceptional company which I highly recommend. Gayle Vanzino2023-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every person has been more than helpful, going above and beyond to meet our needs. Friendliness and service was paramount along with easy to understand explanations. Thank you team RFS

Big changes are on the way for aged care, with new rules starting from 1 July 2025.
Much of the 2025 Federal Budget was already known, after a volley of pre-election spruiking for votes.
We’ve all heard the old saying ‘an elephant never forgets’- but unlike elephants, we humans certainly don’t have flawless recall.
We work with people in their 40s who want to turn their income into lasting wealth; freedom seekers in their 50s and 60s who want a clear path to making work optional; self-funded retirees who want to live well while preserving their wealth; people considering moving into a retirement community; and families who face the challenge of moving a loved one into aged care.
Your investment strategy will be tailored just for you, and will reflect your goals, risk profile, investment timeframe and personal circumstances. We will regularly review your investment strategy on an ongoing basis, to ensure it continues to be a good fit.
We’re an award-winning firm that has more than 25 years of experience and, based on our reputation, are regularly interviewed by the media and asked to contribute commentary. We also have teams dedicated to different types of clients, from middle-aged business owners to those planning to move into aged care. Most importantly, we care: we work hard to ensure our clients live happier, healthier and more successful lives.
Yes, the introductory meeting is complimentary. During this meeting, you can ask whatever questions are on your mind, share your goals and concerns, and decide whether we’re a suitable match.
That depends on your individual circumstances. For many clients, financial advice is a superb investment, because the value far outweighs the cost. Through our knowledge of tax, investing, superannuation and risk, RFS Advice can help you make informed financial decisions, avoid costly mistakes and create a tailored strategy to achieve your goals. However, there are some circumstances in which a client – due to their financial position or scenario – would not get enough benefit to justify working with a financial adviser. We will advise you of the potential benefits of working with RFS Advice during our introductory meeting.
