Outside of work Peter is a keen lawn bowler and enjoys rugby union and cricket.

In 2013 my mother had to enter residential aged care and like most I thought this would be a walk in the park. I could not have been any more wrong. I emersed myself in an understanding of the rules and regulations surrounding aged care and developed a passion to help other along the journey of evaluating options for the right aged care solutions. I am a great believer that you should stay in your home for as long as you can so home care packages are a first step and I enjoy helping people retain their dignity by staying in their own home and utilising home care packages and aligned services. Then when the time comes to making the move to residential aged care we are already well on the way to the right solution. I have developed an easy to understand 5 step process to help you understand the journey and decisions that need to be made and also to ensure that your Centrelink benefits are maximised“.

Peter has given me valuable advice regarding my retirement & Centrelink information regarding my pension following the sale of my home & the time between purchasing another property which, with lockdown, I have not been able to do. This information has helped me enormously to know just what I need to discuss with Centrelink regarding my pension.”

Peter has always shown a great understanding of the state of the financial sector and, in particular, how best to utilise it in providing advice initially for my retirement planning and latterly for retirement itself.
