Congratulations on your move to or travels in Australia. I made the move several years ago with my family. I pass on how to maximise opportunities and refunds/discounts available to new arrivals I meet. But I was only reaching a handful and new I could do better. New arrivals and travellers are not getting all they are entitled to or maximising their dollars.

I’m hoping to give you the tools to plan a smooth move over and then maximise your pay, benefits, tax return if you’re a permanent resident and save on essential life costs.

I focus on reducing costs for cars, bills, groceries, travel and link you to companies that provide discounts. Outside of work you should enjoy the nicer things in life. Pay less tax and free up more of ‘your’ money to explore Australia’s parks, beaches, islands and its surrounding countries.
