When it comes to life after school, the world really has changed.
Once upon a time, the path seemed fairly straightforward: finish Year 12, head to uni, get a degree and go from there.
But today’s students have a far broader landscape ahead of them. From trades and traineeships to creative industries, tech pathways and hands-on learning, there are now countless ways to build a rewarding career.
Here on the Sunshine Coast, we’re seeing that diversity first-hand with local training hubs, industry partnerships and forward-thinking educators all helping young people find the path that best fits them. It’s a shift worth celebrating.
This week, journalist Linda Hooper explores the growing range of opportunities available to students and talks to educators who are helping to shape the next generation of skilled, adaptable young people. It's because success doesn’t look the same for everyone – and that’s a good thing.
As always, we also bring you all the latest local news, plus what’s on around the Coast and, of course, our comprehensive property section, keeping you up to date with the region’s thriving real estate market.

Get Online Week offers free events nationwide, including insights into artificial intelligence and spotting scams. Words: Lucinda Dean.
When it comes to online transactions, one-in-three Australians can’t tell what’s real and what’s AI-generated.
Research by digital inclusion leader
Good Things Australia reveals almost half of all Australians say scams are becoming harder to spot, with nearly a third unable to tell if content is AI generated. One in four is worried what AI will mean for them or their loved ones.
Moreover, one-in-three Australians are worried about their loved one’s ability to
identify scams, with over a third needing support from others when something goes wrong.
These worrying statistics highlight how treacherous the online world can be to navigate for many Australians.
And it’s not just individuals who are wide open to sophisticated AI-generated cyber attacks. Recently, Noosa Council made national news headlines in announcing it was the victim of a sophisticated and well-organised cyber fraud, with a total loss of $1.9 million in December 2024.
Funnily enough, turning to ChatGPT helps define exactly what an AI cyber scam is: “AI cyber scams are cybercrimes that leverage artificial intelligence such as machine learning, deepfake technology or natural language processing to automate, personalise and enhance fraudulent activities like phishing, identity theft, impersonation and social engineering.”
These types of attacks are particularly insidious because they’re highly convincing and personalised, making them incredibly effective at exploiting human trust and emotions.
And as the attack on Noosa Council highlighted, AI cyber scams are hard to detect with traditional security tools.
“The criminals used sophisticated social engineering AI techniques, but we won’t disclose specific details of how the fraud occurred to protect staff and from also highlighting the criminals’ actions,” Council CEO Larry Sengstock says.
“Police say that these types of incidents are on the rise and should act as a warning for organisations to continually review their procedures.”
Mr Sengstock emphasised that it was not a cyber security attack and no council staff were at fault or involved in the “sophisticated, strategic and targeted” fraud.
“Council systems were not breached or affected, no data was stolen and there was no impact to the public or our services,” he says.
New research published by Good Things Australia reveals almost half (48 per cent) say scams are harder to spot, while nearly a third (29 per cent) admit they can’t always tell the difference between AI-generated and real content.
Among grandparents, this jumps to 43 per cent.
The research also highlights that digital challenges affect every generation. A third (34 per cent) of parents are worried about how their children are using technology safely.
Almost one-in-five (19 per cent) young adults aged 25-34 find paying bills or banking online difficult.
And more than a third (37 per cent) of respondents claim they need support from friends or family members to navigate and resolve online issues.
Despite the concern and worry regarding AI, enthusiasm also exists, with nearly a third (32 per cent) of Australians excited to learn about AI when support is available, illustrating that gaining skills and confidence to try new things online is essential.
Get Online Week (October 20-26) is a Good Things Australia initiative, which will feature hundreds of free events nationwide, hosted by community organisations.
From learning to access government services to staying safe online and exploring AI, the events are designed to be welcoming, practical and fun.
Good Things Australia CEO Jess Wilson says the widespread adoption of generative AI technologies are accelerating the pace of change in the digital world exponentially and this can feel overwhelming.
“Learning new digital skills doesn’t have to be daunting. Our research shows Australians are eager to give things a go –especially when it’s safe, fun and shared with others,” she says. “Get Online Week is a chance to connect with your community, learn something new and leave feeling more confident.”

It’s a stressful time for school pupils in Grades 9 to 12, with end-of-year exams looming and questions being asked about what careers they will choose. As My Weekly Preview discovered, the sky’s the limit for local young people, with support available to help them make a wise choice. WORDS: Linda Hooper.
Tim French was a teacher at a leading local independent school when he stumbled across The Industry School in Maroochydore. Describing it as “the Sunshine Coast’s best-kept secret”, he was so impressed with its unique education program that he joined the school and is now their assistant principal.
Tim and industry operations manager Tanou Siebenmann say The Industry School lives up to its promise of being “deliberately different”.
Located in Horton Parade, next to Sunshine Plaza, this is the only high school on the Coast where young people spend 50 per cent of their time completing an education component to gain a Queensland Education Certificate (QEC) and the other 50 per cent exploring industries they may like to work in or completing an apprenticeship or traineeship. There are other important differences, too.
“They are not pupils, they are young people,” Tim says. “Respect is shared. They call us by our first names. They shake our hands and look us in the eye. We celebrate them for being who they are.”
Yes, there is a uniform but there are options to choose from – polo shirts, T-shirts or a trade uniform they can wear
during work experience. They can also have long hair if they wish and are encouraged to express themselves.
“There is no other school in Queensland that offers an industry program which empowers and enables young people to find their path,” Tanou adds. “How it is delivered is also different. We’re getting young people ready for the real world.”
Tim says graduates of The Industry School are in high demand by employers: “We have a 100 per cent QCE success rate and currently, we have a 93 per cent employment rate.
“Our graduates not only finish with a QCE but a Certificate III in Entrepreneurship and New Business, a Certificate II in Future Skills for Work, a pre-vocational certificate and an apprenticeship or traineeship.
“It’s a heck of a deal.”
So how does it work?
“We’re a high school,” Tim explains.
“If you think of a 10-week school term, they do five weeks in this building and that’s their education component.
“For the other five weeks, they are doing their industry block. This could be unpaid work experience, a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship where they are earning money, or they could be at TAFE
completing a Certificate II or another vocational certificate.
“We like them to come in Grade 10 because they don’t need to have a clue about what they want to do and this is the year to decide. It’s a really great time to try lots of different industries.
“They don’t need to be feel pressured to make a career choice.”
Young people can also start in years 11 and 12, when their chosen industry has been narrowed down or they’ve already had relevant work experience. Tanou says plenty of effort goes into preparing young people for work.
“When they commence at the school, they complete our Rookies Program which teaches them everything from safety to creating a resume and what to wear,” he says. “It also includes adventure activities at our camp near Toowoomba. We focus on character and mindset and it’s a real reset and reflection piece for young people.”
He says TAFE Queensland is a major partner with The Industry School to deliver the technical training: “Our team works with TAFE to ensure young people have a pathway in the industry, whether it’s an apprenticeship or a traineeship. TAFE also delivers the pre-vocational certificate in Year 11 and helps us with our Rookies
Program, supporting us with trade tasters.”
The Industry School has six campuses across Southeast Queensland. It opened its Sunshine Coast school to 50 young people in July 2018. Now, the three-storey school offers an innovative education to almost 250 young people.
The local campus offers a number of specialist programs. Within the Construction Academy are carpentry, plumbing, painting and bricklaying, while the Energy Academy (which Tanou says is very popular) offers many electrical pathways such as electrician, refrigeration, renewables and sustainability.
The school has partnered with the Sunshine Coast Turf Club to develop an equine program, which includes horse breeding, track riding, track maintenance, stablehand, veterinary nursing, marketing and event management.
“There are many other choices, too –real estate, aged care, child care, hairdressing, aviation, manufacturing and more. We are simply responding to industry demand,” Tanou says. “If you’re looking at changing and doing something deliberately different, then we’re the school of choice.”
Tim recommends attending Discovery Nights for an opportunity to talk to another person about their experience at the school.
The future looks bright for Year 12 Maroochydore High School student Bailey McRae, who has turned his love of woodworking into a promising career as a carpenter.
Bailey started a school-based carpentry apprenticeship towards the end of Year 11 and has already earned enough money to buy a secondhand Toyota Hilux.
“My grandad was a carpenter and I chose carpentry because I really like woodwork at school and find it lots of fun,” Bailey says.
“I talked to one of dad’s mates, who is a carpenter, and he gave me a chance to do some work experience.”
Bailey is completing his apprenticeship with Jonny Nosa, of Sunshine Coast-based Nosa Construction.
Jonny describes Bailey as “a builder’s dream”.
“My neighbour, who is the woodwork teacher at Maroochydore High School, told me Bailey was the top student in his woodwork class and that he wanted to be a carpenter,” Jonny says.
“I met Bailey and gave him a trial and he started an apprenticeship with me.
“He listens and is very good at following instructions. He’s punctual and mature for his age.”
Bailey works one day a week with Jonny, as well as in the school holidays. At school, he is also studying maths, English, aquatics and woodwork and is completing Certificate III in both Fitness and Hospitality.
“I’m enjoying my apprenticeship a lot,” Bailey says.
“It’s very rewarding when you look at something you’ve completed and think, ‘Wow, I built that’. I’m 17 now and should be qualified by the time I’m 20 or 21 because it takes four years. One of my mates at school is also doing carpentry and it would be good to either start a company with him or work together in the future.”
Many exciting opportunities are available for students who are considering a career in cookery, TAFE teacher Darryl Rush says.
Darryl’s passion for teaching cookery is known and respected in the industry. He’s been teaching at TAFE Queensland’s Mooloolaba campus for the past 10 years and “absolutely loves teaching and supporting the students”.
“Learning to cook with TAFE provides you with the fundamental skills and knowledge required whilst having fun. Cooking should make you happy,” Darryl says.
“The students that complete their certificate with us have great training and are ready to join a kitchen within this amazing industry.
“Every day is different and just as the students learn new skills, we can learn from them, too. It’s important to talk about their own cultural recipes and what brings back memories for them growing up.
“We should all be proud of where we came from – that’s our inspiration to cook.”
Several options are available at TAFE for young people to pursue a career in cooking and hospitality.
“We have entry-level qualifications such as Certificate II, with the opportunity for students to continue their pathways through a Certificate III, IV or diploma or with an apprenticeship,” Darryl says.
“In the Certificate II, students learn the basics in food preparation and equipment, develop their cookery skills and grow their understanding of procedures that ensure a safe, hygienic workplace.
“Then, there’s the Certificate III, which is a comprehensive course that covers a range of units from appetisers and salads, vegan and vegetarian cooking, seafood, meat and poultry and desserts to planning and costing your own recipes and showcasing your own menu and dishes within your own live dinner services.”
Darryl says students still at school can receive a head start on their future with a TAFE at School course, which fits seamlessly around high school studies.
The qualification generally replaces a senior schooling subject, and the term dates align with the Queensland school calendar.
“Additionally, our free Find Your Apprentice service can help connect employers with job-ready candidates in the right industry,” Darryl adds.
“So, once the entry level qualification is complete and students are ready to take the leap into an apprenticeship, TAFE Queensland is there to support them.”
For eligible participants, the Queensland government supports Queenslanders up to the age of 25 by providing access to fully subsidised training across a range of priority apprenticeship or traineeship qualifications.
Darryl says that apart from the incentives available for young people, a career in cookery is incredibly rewarding.
“There are some great people in the hospitality sector that you can learn so much from who are willing to share techniques, experiences and ideas with one another,” he says. “Absorb as much as you can and be a part of the team, as there are so many opportunities to progress and travel.”
He says many of the graduates have gone on to be very successful: “We have past students who are now running restaurants in the Whitsundays. They’re on cruise ships and doing some great work earning their own reputation within local restaurants and cafes.
“And we have graduates like Lynda Morrison, who is now a chef for OzHarvest – a great food charity organisation that we collaborate with – who is raising awareness through education of food wastage.
“So, there are opportunities to assist in the production of creating some amazing nutritional food in the kitchen at OzHarvest for those in need, too.”
The countdown is on for the 30th anniversary of the Sunshine Coast Business Awards Gala next month. This year’s finalists recently gathered at Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort with the mayors of the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, sponsors and judges to celebrate achievements, connect with peers and hear from keynote speaker Ian Hopkinson, founder of Mad Scientist Digital.

along with essentials such as food, clothing, safety planning and counselling referrals. Since SALT began in 2022, about 500 nights’ emergency accommodation have been provided to families in need.
Funds raised will help charity SunnyKids provide critical ‘circuit breakers’ to help families escape harm and rebuild their lives.
The Mayoral Ball – SunnyKids’ annual signature fundraising event – will shine the spotlight on two of the charity’s most vital initiatives: the Transitional Housing Project and the Save A Life Tonight (SALT) program.
Both programs are central to SunnyKids’ mission of breaking the cycle of domestic and family violence by
providing safety, stability and support for families in crisis.
SALT is a community-funded, early intervention initiative which provides immediate safety to individuals and families at risk of domestic violence –often before any incident occurs. Through the program, SunnyKids offers one night of emergency accommodation in a secure location,
This critical ‘circuit breaker’ gives families the chance to escape danger and begin rebuilding their lives.
“SALT literally saves lives,” SunnyKids CEO Kathleen Hope says.
“It gives families a safe alternative when tensions escalate – often before violence occurs.
“By offering a single night of safety, we can prevent trauma and connect families to the long-term help they need.”
SunnyKids has seen a 30 per cent increase in people seeking support over the past year, reflecting the growing demand for domestic violence services across Queensland, where 500 incidents are reported every day.
To address this need, SunnyKids
established its Transitional Housing Project at the end of 2024. The land was formally handed over to the charity in January this year, and construction is currently progressing on site.
The project includes six purpose-built townhouses on the Sunshine Coast designed to give families a safe and stable home while they access wraparound support such as counselling, education and financial assistance. It will provide longer-term accommodation for families leaving crisis situations.
“We know that safety alone isn’t enough,” Ms Hope says.
“Families need time, stability and connection to rebuild. Our Transitional Housing Project provides that bridge between crisis and independence.”
Funds raised from the SunnyKids Mayoral Ball 2025 will directly support these initiatives, helping more local families find safety and hope.
Now in its ninth year, the ball is supported by Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli. It will bring together business and community leaders for a night of purpose, entertainment and generosity at the new Machjet hangar, located at Sunshine Coast Airport.

Young entrepreneur courts exciting career after victory in business challenge with new pickleball paddles.
One Sunshine Coast local is riding the wave of pickleball’s phenomenal popularity, with as Australians by the thousands embracing the craze.
Last year, more than 92,000 Australians played the paddle sport, which combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis.
Now, Norbert Zielinski’s innovative pickleball paddles have led to him being named the winner of the 2025 Generation Innovation (GI) Challenge at the GI Challenge Pitch night on October 8 at Mooloolaba.
Norbert’s innovation impressed judges and the audience, earning him the top honour and a $10,000-plus prize package. He was among 11 young entrepreneurs representing 10 ventures at the challenge.
In a jam-packed few months, the budding entrepreneurs participated in masterclasses, bootcamps, market research, pitching and interviews.
Supported by their mentors and the GI
team, this year’s cohort demonstrated incredible growth during the program and deep passion and commitment to realising the potential of their ideas.
On the final pitch night, three finalists – Jasmin Jobson, from Silk District, with her silk-lined hoodies, bringing haircare and style together; Caitlin Gillet and Alice Kidston, from Dignity Wash, with their body wash designed to bring hygiene and dignity to people all over the world; and Norbert, from PACT Paddles – presented their videos and answered questions from a panel of judges.
“We have been blown away by the passion, focus and determination from this year’s Generation Innovation entrepreneur cohort and their drive to build their ventures,” GI chair Shane Cunningham says.
“We’re very grateful to our partners and mentors who we rely on to run Generation Innovation and deliver the challenge each year, especially our platinum partner Youi, who is now in their

The runners-up each received $2000 towards building their ventures, and the Spirit of GI Award went to Fable Bears founder Tallulah Marsh.
Tallulah received $1000 in recognition of her commitment to the GI Challenge program and the determination she displayed to turn her idea into a business.
The success of the GI Challenge over the past 11 years is considered a testament to the community’s commitment to nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit of young people and driving innovation forward on the Sunshine Coast and Noosa regions. About Generation Innovation

Hello everyone,
As our region continues to face dry conditions and our traditional storm season approaches, it’s important that we are all ready for anything Mother Nature throws at us.
As the chair of the Sunshine Coast Local Disaster Management Group, I was proud to launch the Get Ready Queensland campaign recently, alongside Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie and our emergency service agencies, at the Kawana Waters Surf Life Saving Club.
The aim of this statewide campaign is to raise awareness about preparing for extreme weather.
This year, the message is clear: be ready for anything.
We need to be set to face bushfires, storms, cyclones, flooding and heatwaves.
I urge you to take the following simple steps to boost your readiness and safeguard yourselves, your families, homes and businesses:
• Step 1: understand your risk.
• Step 2: prepare a household emergency plan.
• Step 3: pack an emergency kit.
Check out getready.qld.gov.au and disasterhub.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.
Working together, we can ensure we are ready for anything, no matter what.
Take care and bye for now.
Apapier-mâché chicken, a surf carnival and some interesting 1980s fashion – you’ll find all this and more in the 2026 Sunshine Coast Heritage Calendar.
The calendar offers a nostalgic glimpse of regional life from the 1950s to '80s, as well as some of the quirkier memories in our history.
Rosanna Natoli, Mayor, Sunshine Coast Council.
The collection honours the photographic legacy of Bill Robinson (pictured above left) who, after serving in World War II, settled in Tewantin and
built a photography business that spanned decades and locations across the Coast.
The calendar features a curated selection from Bill’s extensive archive – images which were donated to the Nambour Library and digitised over a 30-year period, thanks to the Sunshine Coast Arts and Heritage Levy.
More than a calendar, it’s a tribute to community memory and the power of photography to connect us to our past. Proceeds support local heritage
initiatives, including volunteer-run museums listed on the back page of the calendar. Don’t miss your chance to own this beautiful piece of local history.
The 2026 Sunshine Coast Heritage Calendar is just $5 and is available now at Sunshine Coast libraries and Council offices.

A new campaign in shopping centres across the region urges men to be proactive in detecting the most common cancer in Aussie males.
Asmall but mighty group of former businessmen and media heavyweights is using experience and connections to raise awareness of prostate cancer, proving that sometimes the best ideas are homegrown.
Noosa Prostate Association (NPA) has secured high-profile digital screen space across the Coast to encourage men to: “Get tested today” for prostate cancer.
The digital campaign, which is being displayed at Noosa Civic, Caloundra Shopping Centre, Stockland Birtinya and Sunshine Plaza, keeps the message simple.
“It’s just a blood test: quick, simple and life saving,” NPA chair Ian Miller says.
The simple blood test is for prostatespecific antigen, which can be an indicator
of prostate cancer. Early detection saves lives and late detection can be fatal.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer impacting Australian men. This year, it is estimated there will be 26,000 new cases diagnosed and about 3900 deaths. This equates to 10 men’s lives lost each day, which is 25 per cent higher than deaths resulting from breast cancer.
The potentially life-saving campaign was devised pro bono by Anthony NapierMunn and Michael Owen, and placed at no cost by oOh!media at the shopping centres.
Formed in 2017, the NPA is a local community-based association which promotes awareness of and testing for prostate cancer. It also raises funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Ashley Robinson knows he has a head for numbers – numbers of things that can go wrong at any given time.
ast week, I had a strange chain of events that took me a while to work out. We have lived in the same house for 28 years which pretty much means that, apart from the hoarding and clutter, I know exactly where everything is ... well, one would think so.
As I walked along the veranda, I rammed my head into a post. Yes, that’s right: a post that has been in the same spot for 28 years. So, I was pretty surprised when I nearly knocked myself out and put a slight gash in my generous forehead that, because of blood thinners, bled like I had been attacked by Freddy Kruger.
Because I have a head like a coconut, the knock made a hell of a bang – as did I, when I let a few expletives go and Old Mate came out and asked, “What did you do that for?” through muffled giggling. I replied that I just wanted to give myself blinding pain and discomfort. That got more laughter. So, off I went into the world with a Band-Aid on my scone to complement my missing front teeth that I am waiting for the tooth fairy to bring. I was looking like a really good sort. The teeth thing is a whole other story. While I am waiting for them,
I have a retainer. But that day, I forgot it.
I did feel a little vague and by the afternoon, I had to go visit my mate Sami. I parked where I always park, pushed the button for the lift and got in when the doors opened. But the nice lady said: “This is going to the basement. That’s your lift next door.” I thanked her and added: “I shouldn’t be allowed out, should I?”
So, I get to Sami and was trying to sit in her high office chair. I couldn’t get it to go down to ‘short, old man position’, so I was stuck up in the air like an angry midget, swearing that it was broken. It turns out that I was pulling the wrong lever – much to the delight of the people in the room. Again, I said, “I shouldn’t be allowed out.”
It then occurred to me that maybe I had mild concussion – something I was actually happy about, as I can’t afford to get any dumber. It reminded me about when I went to a neurologist. He said that when he first saw me, he thought he had hit the jackpot. But the inside turned out not as bad as the outside. Maybe it’s time for another visit ...
Or I could run with that famous quote: “There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind”. Amen.
Sami Muirhead takes time to breathe as she looks forward to her favourite season in the place she calls home.
t will be summer in just a heartbeat, and I can smell the salt of the ocean and the sweet scent of the frangipani trees.
I am jumping on a social media trend this week because I am nothing if not a good follower and cheerleader in life.
Popular poet Andrea Gibson wrote A List Of Things I Love before she passed away this year. Here goes my list.
I love a can of Coke with a red-striped paper straw in it. I love tiny pansies raging out of cracks in the ground in my garden.
I love how my dogs do actual pirouettes upon my return when I leave the house for just minutes to check the mailbox. I love prawn rolls. I really love prawn rolls.
I love white bread with fresh roast chicken swimming in mayonnaise. I love this time of year when we can swim before and after work.
I love my son’s tiny hands. I love my daughter’s perfect blonde curls. I love actual linen napkins. I love mustard.
I love doing Wordle with my son. I love the first smell of coffee in the morning. I love drinking that coffee in a quiet house

I love libraries. I love Taylor Swift’s new song called Opalite. I love broken shells as they remind me that life is hard but still beautiful. I love typewriters. I love fresh mint. I love Netflix. I love Friday nights at home. I love that you read to the end.

Josh Sondergeld highlights the pressing need to take control of how our region grows to ensure affordability and well-planned communities.
s soon as we talk about the growth of the Sunshine Coast, we hear this concern: “We don’t want to be the Gold Coast.”
It’s a useful shorthand: a worry that what we love about the Sunshine Coast – its natural beauty, relaxed pace and sense of community – will be swallowed up. And it is an understandable fear. But, people are already voting with their feet. The region is undeniably growing fast. And if we don’t define what ‘good growth’ means, it will define us.
Between 2011 and 2021, our population increased by more than 79,000 people: a 30 per cent rise. Housing supply has not kept pace. In fact, the Coast is already trailing the state government’s own housing targets, and the shortfall is only widening. Demand keeps climbing, yet the delivery of new homes has fallen behind. Affordable housing is slipping further out of reach. We need to act now to reset the balance. So, the choice is not whether we grow, but rather how we grow. For me, the answer lies in housing diversity. We need a housing mix that lets people stay here at every life stage. Young adults, first-home buyers, families, retirees – they all need options. Without those options, we lose people: young talent moves away, older people are
locked into homes that no longer suit them and essential workers are priced out.
Housing diversity also keeps our region affordable. Without it, we shut people out. Townhouses, apartments and greenfield communities all play a role in making sure people aren’t priced off the Coast. Right now, supply is tight – and that’s one of the biggest reasons so many locals feel locked out of the market.
Greenfield developments are often misunderstood, but they’re a critical piece of the puzzle. They provide familysized homes, space for kids and the master-planned design that allows us to build in schools, parks, sports’ fields and shopping as the community grows. Balanced with infill and higher-density housing, they’re part of how we deliver complete communities.
Done right, housing diversity protects our lifestyle and environment. By planning for growth in the right places, we can take pressure off existing suburbs, deliver better transport and services and safeguard the natural areas that make this region special.
Planning and delivering new housing takes years. That’s why we need to act now. The Coast deserves a clear vision for growth – one that embraces housing diversity, rather than fearing it.
Josh Sondergeld is director of development at Stockland.

When most people think of a de facto partnership, they think of a couple who lives together and is not married.
While that is correct, in the eyes of the law that is not entirely the case.
In fact, sharing a house or even a room (with your partner) does not necessarily mean that you will be considered a de facto partner, should one of you pass away, and the other be entitled to the deceased’s
estate. When assessing if you were or were not a de facto partner, the court takes into consideration a wide range of factors relating to your relationship to establish whether you were living together on a ‘genuine domestic basis’.
This includes how dependent or independent your finances were, if you have any mutual interest in property or other investments, if there were any children in the relationship, and how you presented as a couple to the public.
Sharing a common residence is a factor that the court considers. It does not necessarily hold more ‘weight’ than any other circumstances.
However, the court will often look at why a couple is not living together when determining their relationship status, as this will often tie into the nature of the relationship.
For example, if you and your partner were living separately because of work or study commitments, or even caring for an incapacitated loved one, this would be looked at more favourably than if you were not living together simply because you did not want to. This is because the unwillingness to cohabitate or ’merge lives’ does not show a mutual commitment to a shared life, which is one factor the court will consider.
Your relationship status is crucial for many different legal situations – matters that include property division or concerning children and parental responsibilities, and even drafting your will.
The most important, however, is during the administration of your estate. This is because spouses (including de facto partners) receive priority if the deceased has died without a will.

To be honest, I am not a fan of the word ‘retirement’. It often conjures images of slippers and watching Days of Our Lives
What I prefer is ‘choice’ – the choice to work, travel, volunteer or slow down on your terms.
So how much do you need? That depends. First, we need to understand you, your lifestyle, hopes and expectations. Then, we design a strategy to support your version of retirement and your aspirations.
There is plenty of noise online about how much is ‘enough’. But your goals are not the same as someone else’s, so don’t compare. This is where advice matters.
In helping you to understand your current position, your adviser can create a tailored strategy so you don’t just hope things will work out.
Importantly, life doesn’t follow a script. We all face curve balls, unexpected health issues, career changes and family events.
A good strategy allows you to pivot without panic.
And yes, the most common thing I hear is: “I wish I’d started sooner.” My advice is to start.
Financial advice may seem like an added cost but the value it brings through smarter planning strategies, tax planning, avoiding costly mistakes and having someone in your corner makes it worth every cent.
I always say: “Hope is not a strategy”.
As the year wraps up, it’s the ideal time to give your finances a health check.
Take a moment to review your mortgage, credit cards and other debts.
A few smart moves now can make a big difference heading into the new year.
Start by checking whether your home loan still fits your goals.
That’s because interest rates, property values and your own circumstances may have changed.
So, it’s worth exploring if there’s a better deal or structure available.
Next, tidy up your credit cards.
That means paying down balances where possible and reviewing limits and interest rates.
This will avoid unnecessary costs.
Sometimes delving into your finances can feel a bit overwhelming.
But you don’t have to do it alone.
The TSC Mortgage Brokers team can review your loans.
Team members can explain your options and help you start the new year in control.
That way, you can be sure you won’t be playing catch-up.
Talk to the team at TSC Mortgage Brokers today and get your finances ready for the new year.
The government introduced legislation on July 23 this year which will enact its election promise to reduce student debt by 20 per cent.
This legislation will:
• provide a one-off, 20 per cent reduction to Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debts in the Higher Education Support Act 2003, and other student loans provided under the Student Loans Acts that were incurred on or before June 1 this year
• increase the minimum repayment threshold from $54,435 in 2024-25 to $67,000 in 2025-26
• introduce a marginal repayment system where compulsory student loan repayments are calculated only on income above the new $67,000 threshold, rather than having it based on a percentage of the repayment income.
In other news for businesses, the $20,000 instant asset write-off has been extended by 12 months to June 30 next year.
The $20,000 asset threshold applies to the cost of eligible depreciating assets, eligible amounts included in the second element of the cost of a depreciating asset (cost additions) and general small business pools.

I don’t want to get technical, but ...
I don’t want to get technical but Queenslanders are increasingly discovering that an estate isn’t limited to property and bank accounts.
A lifetime of photos, emails, social media and even cryptocurrency may sit behind passwords or two-factor authentication and, without planning, these ‘digital assets’ can be lost forever.
Under Queensland Law, a will governs how your assets are distributed.
But it doesn’t automatically give your executor authority to access online accounts.
Many service providers, especially overseas platforms, refuse access unless your will specifically mentions digital assets.
A simple digital assets clause may avoid future frustration by giving your executor clear authority to locate, access and deal with your online presence.
It’s also wise to keep a secure list of accounts, subscriptions and passwords (not in the will itself) so your executor knows what exists.
As daily life becomes more digital, ensuring your online legacy is properly managed has become an essential part of estate planning in Queensland.
If your will is more than a few years old, now is a good time to review it.
Our estate planning team can help ensure your will reflects today’s realities.
Sunshine Coast Grammar School’s commitment to nurturing socially responsible, globally minded leaders was demonstrated earlier this year through its fifth Global Awareness Tour to Timor-Leste.
Driven by the school’s nationally recognised Grammar Helping Hands (GHH) program and led by director of community and service Ben Princehorn,
the tour represents the school’s dedication to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and aims to instil a sense of social responsibility and environmental stewardship in all students.
The nine-day immersive experience in June involved 34 students, staff and alumni engaging with Timorese communities through cultural exchange,
collaborative service projects and meaningful conversations with local leaders, schools and community groups.
From exploring the rural and remote communities of Balibo and Maliana to engaging in school visits, working with adult English training programs, spending time learning and connecting with church-run organisations and even taking on the locals in a friendly game of
football, the students were encouraged to see the world through a different lens – one shaped by resilience and shared humanity.
A poignant moment of the trip was the return of Sunshine Coast Grammar School alumni Dr Jessica Simpson (2016), whose own journey of service began on the inaugural Global Awareness Tour in 2015. Her ongoing commitment to giving back is a powerful reminder of the lifelong impact this experience can have.
Mr Princehorn expressed the profound impact that the tour had on every student who participated.
“This tour is not just a trip, it’s a transformative journey,” he says.
“We believe in nurturing changemakers who are equipped to make a positive difference in the world.”
The GHH program, which sees more than 85 per cent participation annually in service initiatives, continues to prepare Grammar students to address global challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future. Through strategic partnerships with community organisations such as Bloomhill Cancer Care and Clean Up Australia, students are empowered to make meaningful contributions locally and globally.

What if school wasn’t something a student simply went through, but something they designed?
Caloundra City Private School (CCPS) is turning this question into reality with The Agile Graduate Programme: a bold new senior learning experience that’s making waves across
the Sunshine Coast educational sector.
Launching in 2026, The Agile Graduate Programme redefines what it means to be “ready for the real world”.
Instead of following a fixed timetable, students co-design their own – choosing when to attend classes, undertake industry placements or complete university and vocational courses. Each learner is supported by a team of coaches and advisors who help them map goals, track progress and build real-world confidence.
But this isn’t just another “future readiness” initiative. It’s a response to what the world actually needs: adaptable, creative thinkers who can pivot, plan and problem solve in the face of change.
“We’ve built a program that lets students make their own moves, forge their own paths and ready themselves – for real,” deputy principal Nathan Reynolds says.
In a time when education is often about test scores and rankings, CCPS is betting on something deeper: selfdirection, purpose and personal growth.
The Agile Graduate Programme is proof that when young people are trusted to lead their learning, remarkable things happen.

The positive, proactive Mars/ Jupiter trine increases your enthusiasm for assisting those who are sick or in need. You’ll find the more you lend a hand to others, the better you’ll feel and the more friends you’ll make.
1. What is the largest landlocked country in Africa?
2. ‘Momo’ is Japanese for what fruit?
TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)
With Venus visiting your wellbeing zone, find a fitness routine that keeps you motivated and choose healthy food that you actually enjoy eating. Attached Taurus – are you stuck in a relationship rut? Mars encourages you to communicate with your partner.
VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)
This week the sun, Mercury and Mars encourage vigorous communication. Being confident is paramount but avoid jumping to conclusions. Venus suggests an increase in cashflow but be careful you don’t indulge in a spontaneous spending spree.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)
The midweek Mars/Saturn trine is terrific for putting plenty of energy into a challenging project. Passion and perseverance will get you there in the end. By the time the weekend rolls around, you’ll feel like winding down and looking within as you relax.
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
It’s a good week for completing work projects and making future plans. However, on Wednesday and Thursday, restless Uranus opposes Mercury (your patron planet) and you could feel extra impatient and skip over important details along the way.
LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)
It’s time to replace confrontation with cooperation. Venus is transiting through Libra, so the more you focus on the needs of loved ones, the happier everyone will be. And the more proactive you are about finding win-win solutions to problems.
AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)
On Tuesday, plan to be proactive at work. On Wednesday and Thursday, unpredictable Uranus (your ruling planet) opposes Mercury (planet of communication) which could lead to hasty words and impulsive actions. So slow down and think before you act.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
You’re in the mood for fun, but in order to capitalise on the Mars-Jupiter energy surge, some forethought and planning are required. There’s just no substitute for thorough research as perceptive Pluto helps you think deeply.
SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)
Many Scorpions love the spectacle of Halloween celebrations, as Scorpio (ruled by Pluto – God of the Underworld) is the sign that rules the dark, mysterious parts of life. So, finding a suitably dramatic, gothic costume is essential.
PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)
The sun, Mars and Jupiter activate your adventure zone. Many Pisceans are keen to travel, and the best time to take a heavenly holiday is between now and November 8 (or between Dec 1-28). So, start planning, booking or packing ASAP.

COMMANDING PRESENCE IN BEACHSIDE ENCLAVE
Coast property owners should consider the key benefits when determining which strategy is best for their investment.
As Sunshine Coast property owners contemplate the strategy for their investments, a critical decision emerges: short-term or long-term rental?
The team members at Ray White Maroochydore shed some light on the differences between these two options.
Opting for long-term rental of your investment property can offer several benefits, making it a preferred choice for many property owners.
Here are key advantages:
• stable and predictable income – one of the primary benefits of long-term rentals is the stability and predictability of income. With a signed lease agreement, you have a fixed rental amount that you can rely on for the duration of the lease.
• reduced vacancy risk – long-term rentals typically have lower vacancy rates, compared with short-term rentals. With tenants signing leases for extended periods, property owners can minimise the risk of having periods of no rental income. Most properties will have an average of one to two weeks vacancy per annum.
• lower turnover costs and utility charges
– long-term tenants often result in reduced turnover costs. Finding and vetting new tenants, along with the associated cleaning and maintenance between short-term guests, can be time-consuming and costly. Long-term rentals, on the other hand, involve less frequent turnover.
• the ability to pass on utility charges to tenants – unlike short-term rentals where owners often cover these expenses, long-term leases enable utility costs to be transferred to tenants.
responsibility and care. This can result in less wear and tear on the property compared to the higher turnover associated with short-term rentals.
• easier property management – long-term rentals often involve fewer management tasks. While periodic inspections are advisable, the frequency is lower than the regular turnover with short-term rentals. This can lead to a more straightforward property management experience.
• increased rates on holiday rentals
• less operational involvement – managing a long-term rental generally requires less day-to-day involvement compared to short-term rentals. Once a reliable tenant is in place, property owners can enjoy a more passive income stream with fewer operational demands.
• consistent property condition and tenant selection – opting for long-term tenants gives property owners the ability to carefully select who lives there. Long-term tenants are more likely to treat the property as their own, fostering a sense of
– recent developments on the Sunshine Coast indicate a crackdown on short-term holiday rentals. The Sunshine Coast Council, in consultation with short-term holiday rental data specialists, is taking measures to regulate and increase rates for this accommodation sector. Noncomplying or unlawful holiday rentals are being closely monitored.
• fewer regulatory challenges – short-term rentals, especially in tourist destinations, can face regulatory challenges and restrictions. Long-term rentals are typically subject to fewer regulatory hurdles, providing a more straightforward and stable legal environment.

IT’S a mixed week ahead for surfers.
Today (Thursday) is expected to kick off hot and humid with clean early conditions before clouds roll in. Tomorrow (Friday) is likely to stay mellow with light winds and small but shapely waves.
Saturday looks like bringing a little more punch with rising swell and humid skies, while Sunday may be stormy — so, expect choppy surf and shifting peaks.
Monday should clear up beautifully, delivering the week’s best, glassiest waves. A morning shower might freshen things up Tuesday before sunshine returns. By Wednesday, cloud and light rain settle back in. All up, a bit of everything this week.
