Our vision, mission and values

Ethical financial advice where health and money meet

Health & Finance Integrated (HFI) was built on a simple belief: everyone deserves ethical financial advice, whatever their health, ability or circumstances.

Our vision, mission and values shape how we work with every client, from the first phone call through to the ongoing review of your plan.

Who we work with

Our clients come from all walks of life. Many choose HFI because they share our values and want ethical financial advice from a firm they can trust with their affairs.

  • People living with disability or chronic illness
  • People living with neurological or autoimmune conditions
  • People receiving TPD or income protection benefits
  • People medically retired from work
  • Personal injury and compensation recipients
  • NDIS participants and their families
  • Parents planning for a child with disability
  • Trustees of Special Disability Trusts
  • Carers and families
  • Young people and people in midlife
  • Retirees
  • Employees, managers and executives

Our vision

Accessible financial planning for all, bridging the gap between the financial and healthcare industries.

After illness, injury or disability, financial decisions often involve superannuation, insurance, Centrelink and care needs all at once. We bring that knowledge together, so you don’t have to work through each system on your own.

Accessibility has been part of HFI from the start. One of William Johns’ first purchases when he founded the business around 2014 was a wheelchair-accessible van, so clients who needed it could be supported.

Our mission

Choice and independence

We believe in building sustainable communities where people have the means to choose how they want to live. We use our financial expertise to find practical solutions to complex financial matters.

Giving back

As a social enterprise, we donate a significant portion of our net profit to community programs that increase people’s independence and support their dignity.

Sharing knowledge

We help health and finance professionals understand how health affects financial matters, so more people receive joined-up support when they need it.
