EOFY Success: Final Steps Before 30 June

Welcome to the June Edition of The Adviser Monthly!

The rules of wealth building in Australia just changed more than they have in a generation. Here’s what’s worth reading before 30 June. As we move into the final stretch, this is a natural point to step back, get organised, and bring the financial year to a close in a steady, considered way.

With recent Federal Budget updates and ongoing cost‑of‑living conversations, many people are taking a closer look at their finances — what’s in place, what still needs attention, and what they want the next financial year to look like.

This month’s selection focuses on practical EOFY priorities: reviewing super contributions, understanding key Budget changes, checking how investments are taxed, and thinking through the actions that can help you start the new financial year with direction.

At Make Work Optional, we’re here to help you use these final EOFY weeks well — bringing the year to a close with clarity and setting your plans up for what comes next.

Take a few minutes to explore this month’s articles below.
