“Ashley was very informative and professional in his discussion with myself and family members, with regard to financial options in aged care for my elderly mother.”

“Olivia has given me advice in areas including, self-managed super funds, on tax effective investments outside of super and reviewed my existing life insurance cover to see if it was cost effective and still suited my needs. Olivia was able to explain things to me in a clear way. Through Olivia’s knowledge and experience, I feel very confident that the advice given was right for my needs.

On our retirement a decision was made to change direction as regards to who we would use to steer us financially through our remaining years in retirement. We asked our accountant to recommend to us a local leading financial adviser who we could trust and comfortably work with. This led to our present association with Robert Goudie. Robert set about re-designing our Self-Managed Super Fund and finances etc, which brought immediate benefits to us. The fact that he is always available, if needed, and that there is a regular three-monthly update of our situation is appreciated. He makes every effort to explain fully what he is doing and to discuss with us any changes that may need to be made to be of benefit to us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Robert Goudie to anybody who might be looking for a very dedicated, professional financial adviser. 

The important thing for us was to find some flexibility which allowed us to secure our lifestyles appropriately whilst not being too damaging to our weekly financial allowances. After working closely with Ashley, the suitable services were found. The process which Consortium Private Wealth developed to work with us allowed us to feel comfortable and confident throughout. We were continuously communicated with and provided with a number of options which allowed us to achieve a very satisfactory outcome. We continue to be impressed with the professionalism of the Consortium Private Wealth team and we look forward to continuing our relationship and are comfortable in recommending others to also turn to Consortium Private Wealth for their financial solutions. 

“Ashley was able to clearly explain the financial implications associated with Permanent Residential Care, for my brother in the West Wimmera Health Service’s Rainbow Hostel and suggest the best options currently available. I also appreciate the fact that he sent an email on our behalf to the Financial Administrator for the West Wimmera Health Service advising her of the discussions we had and the rationale behind not completing the Income and Asset Assessment Forms for Centrelink.”

We are very confident & comfortable in Rob’s advice; he is pleasant, and we would recommend his advice to anyone. He also manages our son’s financial affairs, and they are very happy about Rob’s advice. It is pleasing to us as Russell’s parents that his financial future is in fine hands.
