CoggerGurry • November 3, 2022
More than 50,000 additional self-funded retirees are expected to be now eligible for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card following legislation approval by the Government to increase the allowable income limits.
Effective from the 4 November 2022, the following income limits will apply
- $90,000 a year if you are single
- $144,000 a year for couples
- $180,000 a year for couples separated by illness or respite care
There is no asset test that applies to the Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card. Therefore, if your income falls under the new allowable income limits, please contact us and we can determine your eligibility, plus assist with completion of the necessary Centrelink application.
If you've driven past our office recently, you may have noticed some changes underway! We're excited to share that installation of our new Brentnalls Western Victoria signage has commenced. Like many outdoor projects, the recent weather has caused a few delays, but we're looking forward to seeing the finished result once the weather improves! The rebrand represents an exciting new chapter for our firm, while maintaining the same trusted team, local knowledge and commitment to supporting our clients. We think it will be well worth the wait!
Team Fundraiser for The Shaka Project Recently, our team came together for a fundraising morning tea in support of The Shaka Project , an organisation dedicated to promoting positive mental health, wellbeing and meaningful conversations within our communities. It was wonderful to see staff get behind the cause, enjoy some great food, and contribute to an important initiative that aligns closely with our commitment to supporting wellbeing both in and outside the workplace. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make the morning a success. For more information on The Shaka Project head to their website here 
Over the past few months we've celebrated a number of team birthdays at Brentnalls Western Victoria. A belated happy birthday to Andrew, Chris, Bec, Chloe, Toni, Sam and Michael ("Pechy") ! We hope you each enjoyed celebrating your special day with family and friends. Thank you for everything you do for our clients, our team and our communities. We wish you all the very best for the year ahead.
