We used Retirement Essentials to set up my father's pension for Centrelink and we could not have been more impressed!! All... emails were answered swiftly, and any information they required was explained to us using easy to understand language! Not one visit to Centrelink, not one queue, not one wait to be told that you needed to come back with something else - that normally happens when dealing with Centrelink.
Absolutely worth every cent! Highly recommended!read more

I was in two minds whether or not I needed this service, but I decided to try it. The application process unexpectedly took 7... months of Centerlink confusion and incessant requests for documents. The team here were fantastic: organised, responsive and efficient, far more so than me. At times I called and immediately was able to speak to somebody familiar with my situation and get sensible feedback. 10/10 from me, and service awards should go to Freddy and Ana, both just awesome. Thanks so muchread more

As the COVID Pandemic unfolded last year, my pension application on retirement from self employment was complicated due to the... delayed sale of my small business. It was such a blessing that I came across the Retirement Essentials website! I could never have managed the complexity of the process of all the forms, let alone the inconceivable nature of some of the "glitches" in communications from Centrelink, without the assistance from RE. My frustrations and anxiety during this lengthy and at times maddening process, were always acknowledged by the RE team and a commitment given about the action they would take. My queries and concerns were always attended to promptly. I had confidence that I was receiving considered and professional advice. I was at all times reassured by the professional yet personable, caring and considerate manner of all the RE staff. Even the language of their emails indicated some good "old fashioned" manners and human values. It was a long drawn out process but eventually my Pension Application was assessed correctly! A big shout out to Julia and Freddy as I don't know where I would have been without you. Thank you to you both and to Retirement Essentials.read more

I can opt out at any time.read more

I was recommended Retirement Essentials by someone who had a good experience with them. I liked the idea that I wouldn't have to... deal with Centrelink direct and signed up with them. I found them very easy to deal with and quick to react. From the time they submitted the application to approval was just under 4 weeks and we had foreign pensions in the equation!
There were a couple of hiccups along the way, but all in all highly recommended!read more

When it came time for us to apply for the Australian old age pension, and noting the daunting 25-page application form, we... decided that we needed a professional to steer us through the process. And we are very glad that we chose Retirement Essentials to help us! Right from the get-go, Retirement Essentials offered - for a very reasonable fee - a simplified on-line application process, and to act as our nominee (representative) with Centrelink. With just the minimum of email traffic, with some additional details, and in very short order, Retirement Essentials were able to secure our maximum allowable pensions - without one visit to a Centrelink office! We would highly commend Retirement Essentials to anyone seeking their entitlements, with a hassle-free application process at minimal cost.read more

When confronted with the Government administrative maze that I encountered while attempting to apply for the Aged Pension, my... luck changed when I found the Retirement Essentials website. The RE dashboard calculator was easy to navigate and understand and their modest fee to assist and guide me in my Pension application was worth every 'penny'. The success in attaining my Aged Pension swiftly and without stress was due in no small measure to the skilled and courteous RE staff. Without Retirement Essentials' assistance, I fear I might still be caught in the Government's administrative maze and still not receiving the Aged Pension to which I am entitled.read more

We needed to apply for a Commonwealth Seniors Healthcare Card.
Because of the Convid-19 restrictions our local Centrelink office... was not available to attend physically, instead a representative at the Centrelink Office gave us a phone number to ring and referred us to their website to complete an application.
To be quite frank the level of detail etc required to be entered on the form was quite daunting so I searched for an organisation to assist me and selected Retirement Essentials.
Retirement Essentials had a much more user friendly form to fill out on-line
With their assistance we were even able to negotiate provision of scanned original documents to be accepted by Centrelink
The representatives of Retirement Essentials were very helpful with the whole daunting process and we were successful in receiving our Commonwealth Seniors Healthcare Card
We have no hesitation in recommending Retirement Essentials to act as our agent in the matter. Their fee I considered to be very reasonable for the extensive assistance they provided negotiating the maze of bureaucratic requirements of Centrelink

The fee was immaterial as it was totally outweighed by the help given. Even after a year of having the pension, they are still answering my questions and are so helpful to this "old duffer". Sincere thanks to Shayna, Thomas and all at Retirement Essentials - I cannot recommend them highly enough.read more
