Tabs & Toggles
Tabs and accordions are perfect for displaying a bunch of organized information in a small area (as tabbed or toggled content).
Tabs is a single content area with multiple panels, each associated with a header in a list.
2 types of tabs can be used in the theme:
- Standard
- Full-width — see How We Can Help page.

only one panel open at a time
Your first meeting can take up to two hours. In this time we address your goals and objectives, current financial position and personal situation. It is an opportunity for us to get to know you and you to assess whether we are the right fit for you. If you have brought your financial documents or copies of them, this will speed up the process. This investment of time ensures we understand you and what you are looking for.
During your first appointment, we will establish why you are seeking financial advice, what your goals are and what you expect from us. To assist us, we ask that you bring in as many documents as you can, such as photo ID, tax returns, superannuation, loan and bank statements, copies of wills, insurance details, and/or a budget.
Your initial appointment with Annuity Strategic is provided free of charge. If you decide to preceed, we will prepare an Initial Statement of Advice and an annual invoice for you, which will cover all advice, implementation, appointments, phone calls and any other requirements you might have for the first twelve months.
Ongoing annual costs differ from person to person, depending on the complexity of your situation and the amount of work involved. You will be provided with a written quote prior to appointing Annuity Strategic as your financial planner.

Yes. We offer comprehensive advice and can certainly cover advice on SMSFs. Annuity Strategic assist clients to set-up or close down SMSFs where appropriate, as well as their ongoing management. We also offer advice on retail superannuation funds, industry super funds and small APRA funds as well.
There are restrictions on when you can access your super for a lump sum withdrawal or to start a retirement income stream.
Generally, you can access your superannuation once you have:
- Reached your preservation age and retired from the work force
- Reach your preservation age and commence a transition to retirement pension
- Termination of employment after turning 60 years of age
- Reached 65 years of age
The Australian Government has set limits on the amount that can be contributed into superannuation each year. The Government has imposed limits on both personal contributions (which are made with your after tax income and known as non-concessional contributions) and concessional contributions (such as contributions from your pre-tax salary).
The Aged Pension was put in place to support older Australians who are in need of income support and other concessions during their retirement years. Benefits are offered to Australian residents who are age 65 or over and meet the income and asset test requirements. The aged pension system provides a wide range of support for older residents during retirement.
Your eligibility to the age pension depends on when you were born.
