Life in Regional Australia is an extraordinary journey, and we're thrilled to have you on board as a valued member of our local community.
The last few months have been busy for the Albury office, with many personal milestones, new staff and community engagement keeping us busy.
May brought us the highly anticipated Federal Budget announcement. Despite facing a slowing global economy and predicted economic growth in Australia of less than 1.5%, the Treasurer managed to deliver a budget surplus of $4.2 billion. However, increased spending on health, aged care, and defence will result in a deficit of $13.9 billion in the coming year. As always, budgets have winners and losers among our clients.
