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

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. Contact us now.
