Did you miss our seminar last month “Let’s Talk Super”?
Thank-you to those who attended the Seminar last month. The presenters spoke about the recent proposed changes to superannuation, some of which were only recently passed by the government this week, so the Seminar and information on the night was very timely.
The seminar was our highest attended to date which highlights the importance of superannuation and keeping you informed.
For more information or if you would like a copy of the presentation, please contact our office.
