TPD & Medical Retirement Payout Planning
When a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim or medical retirement payout is in play, early decisions can shape your finances for years. At HFI, we provide licensed advice designed to improve outcomes and minimise avoidable risks. Our role is to turn a lump sum into a practical, rules-based plan that aims to deliver sustainable income, manage risk, and integrate tax and Centrelink considerations. We can’t guarantee claim approvals or returns, but we can show a clear pathway within the rules.
What we help with
- Before and after claim approval – coordinating information with trustees/insurers (where appropriate), clarifying options and setting a timeline for financial steps.
- Cash-flow rules and reserves – establishing spending policies, rainy-day buffers and review triggers.
- Tax & Centrelink alignment – advice designed to minimise leakage and aimed at protecting eligibility where possible.
- Investment settings – evidence-based asset allocation aligned to your risk tolerance and time horizon.
Our process
Discovery → analysis → written recommendations → implementation support → review. You approve each step and fee in writing.
Who we help
TPD claimants, medically retired workers, carers and families, and trustees seeking clarity and structure.
