Superannuation is more than just a retirement savings vehicle — it’s one of the most tax‑effective ways to grow wealth over time. For many Australians, the challenge isn’t knowing that super is important but understanding how to make the most of contribution rules. One of the most powerful strategies available is the bring‑forward rule, which allows you to contribute up to three years’ worth of non‑concessional contributions in a single financial year.

Economic abuse is a form of control that strips away a person’s financial autonomy, often quietly and insidiously. It can involve restricting access to money, sabotaging employment, or coercing financial decisions — and it disproportionately affects women. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2.3% of women have experienced economic abuse in the past 12 months, with many more facing long-term financial consequences.
