Australian Government initiative to protect your financial identity
The Australian Government has launched a website dedicated to protecting your identity. It provides comprehensive advice on how to minimize the risk of identity theft along with tips and questionnaires. It also has a vital section on what to do if you're a victim of fraudulent activity. Even if you don't use internet banking you'll probably find this information useful. The address is www.protectfinancialid.org.au
Headhunter firm looking for talent outside Australia
We have an ongoing relationship with a recruitment company called WorkinOz, which assists overseas Australians and permanent residents to return to Australia. Unlike many other recruitment agencies that are mainly employer driven, WorkinOz will assess your profile and requirements and will work with you to find suitable positions. For more information visit www.workinoz.com.au
How to save money on your mortgage
If you've been with the same lender for a few years, you're probably paying too much interest on your mortgage. In today's competitive marketplace, banks always have special offers for new customers, which don't apply to existing clients. To keep your mortgage competitive, you need to compare it regularly to what's being offered by other lenders and switch banks if need be. At Proper Finance Solutions we do this for our clients every 12 months.
Recent Testimonials
Hi Anton,
Just thought I'd drop you a note firstly to say thank you to you and your team for the work that went into setting us up with St George.
There were of course a few issues to smooth over during the process both with HSBC and St George but these were eventually solved and overall we happy with the new product and added conveniences it brings on one level.
Anyways, please pass on our thanks to your team for a job well done.
Kind Regards,
Brandon

Dear Anton and Chantal,
Just a few words to
thank you for your assistance in finding a suitable lender to fit my
particular business circumstances and requirements. You have both
acquitted yourselves most professionally and, at the same time, provided a
very personalised service to your client. I was particularly impressed by
your thoroughness and attention to detail. Your strict follow-up
procedures resulted in the settlement of my loan taking place in only a
matter of days.
Once again, I appreciate your professional approach and look forward to doing business with you again when the need arises.
Kind regards,
John
