Standing on the edge of retirement can feel overwhelming. After decades of routine, work and wages, suddenly everything is about to change. So how do you prepare financially, mentally and emotionally, for the next phase of life? 

Join host Andrew Mackinnon as he speaks with CBUS Coordinator Tracie Wilson and CBUS Retirement Advice Consultant Dianne Abbley. Together, they explore how to avoid “retirement shock”, how to think about income in retirement, and why purpose and staying curious matter just as much as money. 

 Because it's time to shift the way you think about your Super.

Do you know how much is in your Super account? It's okay if you're unsure. You're in the majority. While the idea of Superannuation can seem overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. 

Hosted by Andrew Mackinnon, in each episode of the Cbus Super Shift Podcast, Andrew is joined by one of the many Cbus Coordinators, and an expert from the Cbus Advice Team. 

They’ll cover topics like ‘What’s enough to live well?’ ‘How to track your Super’ and ‘Planning for what you leave behind.’ 

You’ll get simple, practical steps to manage your super, and explain government initiatives and entitlements that you may very well be eligible for. 

The time is now to take action for the future you actually want. 

So, whether retirement is still a long way off or almost at your doorstep, it's time to shift the way you think about your Super.

Cbus Super Shift

 Your retirement game plan 

For many Australians with superannuation accounts, the Age Pension can be the difference between retiring with strain or retiring with confidence. Yet countless people miss out simply because they don’t understand how the system works. A few key rules can change your entire retirement outlook.

In this episode, host Andrew Mackinnon is joined by Cbus Senior Education Specialist Jeff Wallens and Cbus Coordinator Tracie Wilson to cut through the confusion. They unpack eligibility, the income and assets tests and why the timing of your application can significantly affect what you receive.

Because it’s time to shift the way you think about your Super.

Shaping your retirement with the Age Pension 

As you approach retirement, one of the simplest ways to boost your confidence and your bank balance, is understanding the extra benefits available through the Age Pension. From discounts to direct savings, these supports can reduce your living costs and make your retirement income stretch further than you might expect.

Host Andrew Mackinnon speaks with Cbus Coordinator Phil Milne and Cbus Retirement Advice Consultant Bonyit Mabor. Together, they unpack the real value of concession cards, the Work Bonus, tax offsets and why so many retirees miss out on thousands of dollars simply because they don't apply for the Age Pension. This episode breaks it all down, so you can understand how to unlock what support is available for you.

Because it’s time to shift the way you think about your Super.

Host Andrew Mackinnon speaks with Cbus Coordinator Phil Milne and Cbus Retirement Advice Consultant Bonyit Mabor. Together, they unpack the real value of concession cards, the Work Bonus, tax offsets and why so many retirees miss out on thousands of dollars simply because they don't apply for the Age Pension. This episode breaks it all down, so you can understand how to unlock what support is available for you.
Because it&rsquo;s time to shift the way you think about your Super.

Get the most out of what’s already yours

If you’re thinking about selling the family home in retirement, understanding how it could boost your super, and how it might affect your Age Pension, is one of the most important decisions you can make. The right move can increase your retirement income. The wrong one could unintentionally reduce it. 

Join host Andrew Mackinnon as he sits down with CBUS Coordinator, Eammon Wolfe and CBUS Senior Education Specialist, Jeff Wallens. Together, they unpack what the Downsizer contribution is, who it benefits, and the lifestyle considerations that matter just as much as the financial ones. 

Because it’s time to shift the way you think about your Super.
