From the editor
There’s a real sense of momentum on the Sunshine Coast at the moment and this week’s cover story captures that perfectly.
We take a look inside the new Maroochy Private Hospital, which has officially opened its doors in the heart of the city centre.
More than just a new hospital, it represents the continued growth of our region and the increasing confidence people have in the healthcare available right here on the Coast.
It was fascinating to speak with key personnel about their vision for the facility and what it means for the future of specialist healthcare in our community.
As always, we've packed this edition with plenty of local stories and features. You'll find our latest Local Eats feature, health and education stories, professional services, all your local news, community updates and what's on around the Coast. And if property is your passion, we've got that covered, too.
I love putting together a magazine that celebrates the people, businesses and organisations helping our community thrive, and this edition is full of those stories.
I hope you enjoy the read.

Tax hack 2: delay your pay
This might sound as appealing as a root canal, but bumping any income that you can into July will significantly slash this year’s tax bill … and might get you a refund. This particularly applies to self-employed or contracted people, who invoice.
But if you’re an employee and there happens to be a bonus coming your way, see if they will hold it over just a few days.
Tax hack 3: love your spouse
Well, you should anyway, but this is a left-of-field and lucrative tax strategy: if one of you is earning less than $40,000 a year, perhaps as you have young children, a big opportunity exists via super.
THREE HACKS TO GET MORE TAX BACK
With the end of the financial year looming, it’s time to double-check legal deductions and savings. WORDS: Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon.
Think you have no say in how much tax you pay? Three easy, urgent money moves could dramatically slash it.
But with the financial year coming to an end on June 30 – a matter of days away – you have no time to lose.
Tax hack 1: get (sensibly!) spending
You’ll never hear me recommend spending more than you need to, but now is the time to bring forward any necessary purchases that earn you tax deductions. Think you know all the available
purchase perks for your industry? Double check on the Australian Tax Office website because, in some industries, you can claim not just equipment and uniforms, but even say ‘hand’ bags (used for laptops) and moisturiser (airline staff).
There is also a $20,000 instant asset write-off available for small businesses. That means you can immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying assets up to that value, rather than depreciating them over several years.
And don’t forget to donate to your
There is a huge $540 tax rebate on offer – that’s a straight-up discount off your tax bill – if the higher-earning spouse pays $3000 into the super of the lowerearning one. The full rebate is paid on income of $37,000 and it phases out at $40,000.
Now, $3000 is a lot, but don’t miss that someone on lower income is missing out on retirement money and every year that passes bakes in that disadvantage.
However, there’s a big but: check with your fund whether, if you paid immediately, the money would go in before June 30. If not, you can do this every year so you’ll have 12 months to save for the next tax year – requiring putting aside maybe a manageable $58 a week to not only rescue the retirement of the person foregoing income, but also instantly cut your family’s tax bill.

INVESTING IN ROAD SAFETY MEASURES ‘PAYS FOR ITSELF’
RACQ has warned that Queensland is heading in the wrong direction on road deaths and risks not keeping up with a rapidly growing population.
It has made key recommendations in its 2026-27 Queensland budget submission.
RACQ general manager of advocacy Joshua Cooney says Queensland is in the grip of a road safety crisis that demands urgent investment and a road safetydelivery plan.
“Year on year, we are seeing a disturbing trend of growing road deaths in Queensland. Last year, we recorded over 300 lives lost. This year, we’re on track to surpass that,” he says.
RACQ is calling for a minimum $500 million per year for the Targeted Road Safety Program to fund low-cost, highbenefit safety treatments. These include safety barriers, shoulder widening, intersection upgrades and overtaking lanes.
“Smart investment in safer roads, particularly in our regions, pays for itself by reducing the enormous recurring costs of deaths, serious injuries and hospital expenses,” Joshua says.

NEW SPECIALIST HOSPITAL
AAIMS TO PUT THE SUNSHINE COAST ON THE HEALTHCARE MAP
The purpose-built facility, within one of our fastest-growing precincts, will serve the region, with a focus on musculoskeletal care. Words: Ingrid Nelson. Photos: Lisa Pearl.
new specialist private hospital in the heart of Maroochydore City Centre has opened its doors, bringing a boutique model of healthcare to one of Australia’s fastestgrowing regions.
Part of the Fortius Healthcare group, Maroochy Private Hospital has been developed as a purpose-built facility focused primarily on musculoskeletal care, with 33 inpatient beds, six operating theatres and a multidisciplinary team of specialists, nurses and allied health professionals working under one roof.
Other specialities include neurosurgery, ophthalmology and plastic surgery.
Co-founder Associate Professor Daevyd Rodda and Dr Joe Coory, orthopaedic surgeons at Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group and shareholders of Maroochy Private, have played a key role in shaping the hospital’s vision and believe the facility represents an important milestone in the Sunshine Coast’s evolution as a healthcare destination.
For A/Prof Rodda, Maroochydore City Centre was the obvious location for a hospital designed to serve the entire region.
“We wanted to create a hospital that
was accessible to the entire Sunshine Coast community,” he says.
“Maroochydore City Centre is ideally positioned for patients travelling from across the region – whether they’re coming from the southern end of the Coast, Noosa or Gympie.
“It was designed as a major transport hub and offers the kind of convenience, parking and surrounding amenities that make a real difference for patients and their families.”
The location also positions the hospital within one of the Coast’s fastestgrowing precincts.
“This is where much of the Olympic Games infrastructure is going to be built,”
A/Prof Rodda says.
“Given our focus, we wanted to be part of that growth and to be in and around the excitement and buzz that is building across the precinct.”
The hospital’s arrival comes as demand for orthopaedic procedures continues to increase and as perceptions of healthcare on the Coast continue to evolve.
A/Prof Rodda says one of the biggest changes he has witnessed during his 11 years on the Coast has been a shift
in how patients view the region’s healthcare offering.
“When I first came to the Sunshine Coast, many patients felt they needed to travel to Brisbane to access the highest level of care,” he says. “Over the years, I’ve seen that perception completely change. We’re
“We’re now welcoming patients not only from across regional Queensland, but also from Brisbane, interstate and even overseas”
now welcoming patients not only from across regional Queensland, but also from Brisbane, interstate and even overseas who are choosing to come to the Sunshine Coast for their surgery.”
That changing perception is reflected in the transformation of Maroochydore itself.
“It was very forward-thinking of the Sunshine Coast Council to develop this
CBD,” A/Prof Rodda says. “Before any of these buildings were here, you wouldn’t have predicted that it would look like this by 2026, and it’s just incredible to think what it might look like in another 10 years.”
He says the growing energy within the city centre precinct made it a natural home for the hospital.
“What excites me most is that this isn’t just a hospital,” A/Prof Rodda says.
“It’s part of a broader precinct that is bringing people, businesses and services together, and you can feel that sense of momentum everywhere you go.”
Maroochy Private Hospital is Fortius Healthcare’s third specialist hospital, following hospitals in Newcastle and Adelaide.
“The whole premise of Fortius hospitals is that we wanted to provide smaller boutique hospitals, sub-specialised in a small number of procedures that we do extremely well with a definite musculoskeletal focus,” A/Prof Rodda says.
“And that’s been the experience of those kinds of hospitals internationally –that patients have extremely good clinical outcomes and, on top of that,
Associate Professor Daevyd Rodda and Dr Joe Coory
an extremely good patient experience.”
A/Prof Rodda believes the new hospital has the potential to become a destination facility for patients from across Australia.
“The reality is that, in our practice, we’ve had patients come from all kinds of regional areas and interstate and overseas over the years,” he says.
“And I feel that this facility has the opportunity to build on that momentum.”
Dr Coory says one of the key advantages of the new hospital is the ability to design the patient experience from the ground up.
“One of the really great things about being involved in this experience has been that we can shape our patient’s journey throughout the whole process,” he says.
“Historically, we have been able to control what happens in the clinic rooms and what happens in the postsurgical period.
“But that perioperative period, we haven’t had that much control over other than the techniques we actually use.”
The hospital has adopted Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles, encouraging patients to mobilise sooner following procedures and return home earlier.

replacement and shoulder surgery are generally well people having elective procedures focused on improving pain and mobility,” Dr Coory says.
“We encourage them to get up, mobilise and return home sooner where clinically appropriate, as these approaches are supported by evidence in elective orthopaedic care.”
That philosophy extends beyond the operating theatre. At Maroochy Private Hospital, recovery has been carefully considered from every angle, including the environment in which patients heal.
Boutique-style rooms are bathed in natural light and framed by sweeping views of the Glass House Mountains, creating a setting that feels more like a contemporary retreat than a traditional hospital ward.
The Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group team includes five orthopaedic surgeons, a pain specialist, nurse practitioners, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and allied health professionals all contributing to an integrated patient journey.
“Our focus has always been to treat surgery as a journey, not as an operation,” Dr Coory says.
“We have always had a focus on an integrated patient experience from the first time a patient’s referred into the clinic until the time of discharge.”
Technology has also played a key role in the hospital’s design.
“I’m somewhat of a tech enthusiast,” Dr Coory says.
“One of the really fun things has been being able to pick exactly the tech we want in the hospital.
“A lot of the surgery I do is minimally invasive keyhole-style surgery. The quality of the cameras and the type of camera technology available now is incredible.”
Dr Coory, an early adopter of roboticassisted shoulder surgery, says advanced technology has been carefully incorporated into the facility’s operating theatres.
“Last year, we were the second in Australia to perform a total shoulder replacement assisted by the Mako robot and the first on the Sunshine Coast,” he says.
Beyond patient care, the hospital is expected to create significant employment opportunities and help attract more healthcare professionals to the region.
“Theatre access on the Coast, generally speaking, is getting more difficult,” Dr Coory says.
“So, by having more capacity, we’re able to treat patients in a timelier fashion.
“As the population grows, we need more jobs and this facility is bringing hundreds of jobs.”
He believes the hospital will also play a significant role in attracting specialists to the Coast.
“Having a facility like this, that’s catered to advanced musculoskeletal care, will attract more specialists to the region.”
For both A/Prof Rodda and Dr Coory, however, the hospital’s greatest strength lies in the people who work within it.
“What we’re really focusing on here is three things: patient-centred care, the patient experience and building a strong team culture, because you can’t achieve those things without a collaborative and committed team,” A/Prof Rodda says.
“At the very centre of everything we’ve done here is a massive focus on team culture. That’s been our North Star from day one.”
As Maroochy Private Hospital begins welcoming patients, its founders hope the facility will become more than just another hospital. They hope it will help cement the Coast’s reputation as a destination for specialist healthcare for decades to come.

CONSTRUCTION DELAYS ACT AS A WALL TO TRADING
Moffat Beach operators are fearful of business dropping over winter as they battle further seawall disruptions. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.
Business owners across Moffat Beach say they are facing a critical winter period as ongoing seawall construction continues to disrupt trade.
For more than a year, businesses in the precinct have dealt with reduced parking, restricted access, construction fencing and a marked decline in visitor numbers – all linked to the required project.
While operators say they support the need to protect the coastline, many believe the financial burden of the disruption has fallen heavily on the local business community.
Ours by the Beach operations manager Ashtyn Watkins-Shaw says trade has dropped significantly during the construction period.
“Historically, the venue was generating between $80,000 and $90,000
per month. More recently, we have seen months closer to $50,000, which places enormous pressure on a venue of this size,” he says. “As a result, we have had to significantly reduce staffing. Our team has effectively been reduced by around half.”
Ashtyn says many nearby operators are also under pressure, with some taking significant steps to stay afloat.
“From conversations with neighbouring operators, many have borrowed money, sold personal assets, sought rent relief, reduced staffing or reduced trading hours simply to survive,” he says.
The Moffat Beach seawall project is critical to the long-term protection of the foreshore.
The project was originally expected to be completed by the end of last year or early this year, but has now been pushed out to August.
A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson says it is committed to finishing the project as safely and efficiently as possible, to ensure the community and visitors to the area will be able to enjoy it for generations to come.
“Council acknowledges that the project timeline has been impacted by supply chain issues and some
challenging environmental conditions,” a spokesperson says.
“The project has also been delayed by adapting construction methods to meet the community desire to retain Norfolk pine trees in the area.
“Council is working closely with local businesses through regular engagement and supporting various community-led events and activations, based on what local operators have said they need.
“The Moffat Beach Street Party on June 18 drew thousands of visitors, with local venues reporting strong trade and full capacity.”
Kerrod Walters, from The Shack Fish and Chippery, says the street party event was successful.
“A lot of people came out for it, and the event ticked the boxes for what we have been trying to achieve,” he says.
The project is progressing, with the rock wall now largely complete, and final works underway on beach access stairs.
In the next stages, seawall capping and stairs will be completed and the final project completion is on track for the end of August. The eastern car park is expected to reopen at that time.
Locals and visitors are encouraged to continue supporting the businesses that have helped make Moffat Beach one of the Coast’s most loved destinations.
WEEKEND FOR MEN TO SPEAK HONESTLY AND CONNECT
ManKind Project Queensland (MKPQ) is calling attention to a simple but often overlooked need: men need places where they can speak honestly, be supported and reconnect with what matters.
This July, MKPQ will hold its New Warrior Training Adventure at Woodfordia (near woodford) for the first time.
It is a modern 48-hour, rite-of-passage weekend for men, which will be held from July 24-26.
The ManKind Project movement began in the US in the 1980s and has grown into an international network of men’s communities, trainings and peer-led support groups.
Today, MKPQ supports 10 I-Groups, or men’s circles, across Queensland – from the Gold Coast to Cairns.
On the Sunshine Coast, MKPQ has a local I-Group in Buderim, where men meet weekly on Wednesday evenings.
Buderim I-Group member Chris Glover says the local men’s circle offers something simple but important.
“Every week, men come together here on the Sunshine Coast to check in, speak honestly and support each other without judgment,” he says.
“You do not need to be in crisis to need connection. Sometimes a man just needs a place where he can put down the mask, be real and be met by other men who understand.”
The move to Woodfordia is significant.
MKPQ treasurer Luke Abraham says the move honours the organisation’s history while opening the next chapter.
“Men are carrying a lot. Many carry it quietly. This work gives men a place to stop, tell the truth, listen deeply, take responsibility and reconnect with what matters,” he says.
The July training is open to men who are ready to explore what else is possible in their lives, relationships, families and communities.

CYCLIST PUTS WHEELS IN MOTION FOR MENTAL HEALTH
A Sunshine Coast cyclist is preparing to ride across Australia in under 80 days, covering roughly 14,200km to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
Fitness coach and influencer Shonel Daniel is taking on this challenge as a beginner, with no previous experience of endurance cycling.
In doing so, she attempts to show people who may be enduring difficulty that change is possible.
“I am doing this with only one year of training, which is intentional, to inspire people that anything is possible if you put your mind to it,” Shonel says.
Shonel’s challenge, titled ‘Pedal with Purpose’, will start on July 20 and travel through coastal roads, regional towns and remote communities.
“This journey is both a physical and mental challenge, chosen intentionally to reflect the reality many people face when they struggle: continuing forward, often in silence,” she says.
“Riding solo matters to me. It represents the isolation that can come with mental health challenges, while also showing that persistence, connection and support are possible.
“Every kilometre is a reminder that
help matters, conversations matter and lives are worth protecting.”
Funds raised through Pedal with Purpose will support the work of the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP), strengthening global efforts to prevent suicide and promote connection, awareness and hope.
“My hope is that this ride not only raises funds, but helps open conversations, reduce stigma and reminds people they are not alone,” Shonel says.

PRACTICAL SUPPORT FOR HOMELESS
A new amenities block with extensive facilities will help vulnerable women. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.
Achance sighting has sparked a practical community response to one of the region’s growing social challenges, with a new amenities block now open in Noosa to support women experiencing homelessness.
It all started when Smile for a Child Foundation patron and dual international Michael O’Connor noticed a woman living in her car near his home. That moment, he says, brought into focus an issue already being closely observed by local services and community leaders: the rising number of women over 55 experiencing homelessness.
The concern had already been identified by Matt Gluyas and Amanda Fortington, from Noosa-Coolum Salvos, who had been working alongside Noosa Council, former mayor Clare Stewart, and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton. In 2024, Matt and Amanda led the launch of Queensland’s first Safe Overnight Carpark project, designed to provide a secure place for women over 55 to sleep in vehicles while accessing support services: counselling, job placement assistance, health support and pathways toward stable housing.
Smile for a Child Foundation driving force Glenn Puckeridge says the initiative is already making a meaningful difference: “Thanks to the dedication of Matt, Amanda and the wider team, many women now experience safer nights and renewed hope for their future.
“This project is a testament to their determination and compassion, reflecting the power of teamwork to make a lasting difference in the community.”
A new amenities block was officially opened on June 8,
July 10th, 11th & 12th
significantly upgrading the site with toilets, showers, laundry facilities, a fridge and kitchen. The addition has also doubled capacity from six to 12 overnight stays, allowing more women to be supported each night.
Funding and support for the project came through a broad community effort. The Smile for a Child Foundation hosted a sportsman’s lunch in March 2024 at Sunshine Beach Surf Club, featuring former Australian rugby union player John Eales and ex-AFL player and coach Kevin Sheedy. The event raised $80,000 and honoured patrons including tennis star Evonne Goolagong Cawley AC MBE.
Additional support was provided by WomenKind Australia, Noosa Heads Surf Club and local Lions clubs.
Further community partnerships helped bring the project to life, including Sunshine Beach State High School principal Anthony Swan and students, alongside builders and trades such as John Bruff (painting), Dallas Furner (plastering), Mark Trevanion (Suncoast Water Proofing) and Tony Vaughan (water pressure cleaning), plus Graham Lewis, from the Salvos. The Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club also lent a hand, volunteering at the site in 2024 during a bye weekend to help clean and prepare the area for future stays.
“Coach Jim Mackay credited the day to the club’s extraordinary grand final success that year,” Mr O’Connor says.
Organisers say the project reflects what can be achieved when community groups, local government and volunteers work together to respond to urgent social needs, with a focus on dignity, safety and practical support.

Budget 2026-27 updates Budget 2026-27 focuses on getting the basics right while planning responsibly for the future.
I consistently hear the same things that matter most to you: safe roads, well-maintained parks and reserves, and communities that feel connected and looked after.
The everyday details such as paths, playgrounds and local infrastructure allow us all to enjoy our region.
A significant project I’m particularly pleased to see included in the budget is the $4million Petrie Creek Road shoulder widening between Paynters Creek Road and Celestine Place in Rosemount.
This important upgrade will improve safety and connectivity along a busy route, benefiting all road users.
Just like our residents, Sunshine Coast Council is facing a tough financial environment, requiring some
hard decisions, and we remain very conscious of the cost-of-living pressures affecting many Coast households. Overall, this budget reflects a sensible approach –delivering what our community needs today, while ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
New play feature swings into park Exciting upgrades to Forest Pines Park are now complete, with a new basket swing officially open for the community to enjoy.
This project has expanded the existing playground, providing an inclusive and engaging play experience for local families.
The upgrade features new play equipment, landscaping, loose-fill softfall and improved drainage.
All equipment has been independently certified for safety and is ready to enjoy.
This is a fantastic addition to a much-loved local park.

ITHE ACCIDENTAL GARDENER
Ashley Robinson is starting to think retirement may not be his ‘Garden of Eden’ when it comes to minimising his daily workload.
am getting a much clearer picture, looking into the window of possible retirement, with a carrot being dangled frequently by Old Mate about putting the cue on the rack.
She says: “Won’t it be great when we can spend more time together?” and “think of all the things we can do around the house and in the garden”. There is one flaw in her plan – well, actually, more than one. Money stands out as a major issue, but lately it has been in danger of being overtaken by spending time together in the garden.
Now, admittedly, over a period of time such as the past 43 years, things have changed. But, I must say, one of the only things that didn’t change with me is that, in 1983, I liked mowing lawns but hated gardening and that is still the case today.
Sure, I don’t mind picking up a mess Old Mate has made but don’t ask me to pot a plant and, God forbid, trim a tree under supervision. Not happy, Jan. Potting plants and garden beds is not in my skill set. To her credit, Old Mate has someone come in to help her with that and he has done a great job in the potting department. Fantastic!
But that’s when everyone got a bit
excited and decided to do garden beds. Old Mate got her calculator out and ordered 5 cubic metres of soil, dropped in the driveway on a tarp. It was originally 4 but she threw in another cubic metre for good luck.
Now, her helper comes once a week for four hours when it isn’t raining. With the rain and what has already been spread (which I have noted is about half the garden beds), at least 4.5 cubic metres are still left. It looks like a small mountain in our driveway.
The obvious question is: why don’t I just rip in and get it down? Simple answer? I still want to be married. If I do it, there is certain to be a broken branch or flower and it will end up like Question Time in parliament.
Just last week, I trimmed one tree while supervised. Then I got a bit cocky and did one all on my own. Bloody hell – talk about drama. I did learn a couple of things. When you cut branches, you have to do it on an angle so the rain doesn’t rot the branch. Wow!
I also learnt I will be working until my zimmer frame cannot carry the load any longer. I am reminded of this quote as I continue to stumble off to work: “When you retire, you switch bosses – from the one who hired you to the one who married you.”
VKEEPING MY HEAD ABOVE WATER
Between house renovations disrupting family life and finding a deceased pet, Sami Muirhead has had a week from hell.
ale, Stitch the Fish. Our Siamese fighting fish has no fight left in him. I say ‘ours’ but, really, he was mine.
I was the twit who changed his water, fed him every night and worried he was too cold, too hot, bored or lonely.
About a week ago, Stitch stopped eating, which rattled me because I am very much a feeder. In our house, food fixes sadness, stress and celebration. Food is life.
So, naturally, I fussed over the fish when he swam away from his fish flakes.
Then, I found him lying on the pebbles. I thought dead fish floated. So, I convinced myself he was having a winter nap. Turns out it was the forever kind of nap.
I pretended not to like Stitch when he was first gifted to me by my friend Tricia because I resented having one more living thing to look after. But somehow, he swam into my cold heart.
He joined me for morning coffee and Wordle, never needed lifts to sport or dance, never talked back, never made a mess or ate me out of house and home.
He just swam around, looking beautiful – basically, the perfect friend.
So, I have finally accepted that my ‘Stitchy baby’ has gone to the big fishpond in the sky.
Please, Tricia, do not buy me another fish. I have enough on my plate without checking the tank for bubbles as a sign of life. Bubbles in bottles, however, are happily accepted at all times.
“I have enough on my plate without checking the tank for bubbles as a sign of life”
It has been quite the week. We are five months into a renovation, and all the smart people told us to move out of the house. But we swore we would be fine to live through the major changes.
I am not fine. My bedroom is now in the garage as I rummage through five cardboard boxes every morning to find an outfit for the day.

THE PRICE OF POOR TRUST MANAGEMENT
When someone sets up a trust, often to support their children or family members after they’re gone, they usually name a trustee to manage it.
On the surface, it might seem like a straightforward job: look after the money, make sure it grows, and eventually pass it on to the right people.
But being a trustee isn’t just about balancing the books. It comes with serious
responsibilities, especially when the people relying on the trust are children or otherwise vulnerable people.
A common misconception is that a trustee’s main job is to protect the money in the trust and keep it growing. While that’s important, it’s not the whole picture.
If the trust was set up to support children, for example, then their everyday needs such as education, healthcare and a stable living situation must be a top priority.
If that relationship breaks down (if there’s constant arguing, disrespect or poor communication), it can make it nearly impossible to manage the trust in a way that truly benefits the family.
Good trustees don’t just manage money. They also manage relationships. Respect, openness, and cooperation are key.
Sometimes, things just don’t work out.
A trustee who focuses only on preserving the trust’s value for the future, while ignoring what the beneficiaries need right now, isn’t doing the job properly.
Being a trustee means more than making decisions from a distance. You need to understand the people the trust is meant to support.
That might mean talking to caregivers, reading reports from teachers or psychologists, or simply staying informed about how the beneficiaries are doing.
Deciding not to pay for school fees, therapy or even housing without understanding why the request is being made can seriously harm the people the trust was set up to help.
In many trusts, especially those involving children, a parent or guardian may need to work closely with the trustee.
If a trustee isn’t acting in the best interests of the beneficiaries, there are legal pathways to have them replaced with someone more suitable, such as an independent professional.
Courts don’t take this step lightly, but they will act if it’s clear that the current trustee isn’t serving the trust’s purpose.
If you’ve been asked to act as a trustee, or if you’re dealing with a trust and something doesn’t feel right, it’s important to understand your rights and responsibilities.
A trust is meant to be a tool for care and support – not a source of stress or tension.

Less of the two certainties in life
We are all going to pass away but is it possible to escape some of the recently announced tax reforms as we depart this world?
My last article addressed the Federal Budget plan of a proposed 30 per cent minimum tax on Discretionary Trusts, and the possible inclusion of Testamentary Discretionary Trusts (‘TDTs’) – that is, trusts within Wills. It seemed an ‘odd’ outcome that TDTs would be bundled in with Discretionary trusts for the proposed new tax treatment for trusts.
Trusts within Wills provide a useful mix of flexibility, asset protection (including in Family Law disputes) and tax advantages.
On June 18, 2026, the government provided a very welcome clarification on the treatment of TDTs and confirmed all TDTs will be exempt from the proposed 30 per cent tax.
The exemption will extend beyond existing TDTs and covers future TDTs.
The government’s announcement is designed to remove uncertainty surrounding taxation of inheritances and deceased estates.
Although I don’t recommend the drastic step of passing away as part of your tax planning regime, it’s at least comforting to know TDTs will continue to play a central role in estate planning, asset protection and tax-effective wealth transfer strategies for our clients. Watch this space!
INDUSTRY EXPERTS
Changing rules and stable rates: what you should know
The Reserve Bank has maintained the cash rate, providing a sense of stability for borrowers.
However, the bigger story is the continued shift in lender policies and servicing rules.
Lenders have started applying more conservative servicing assessments.
These include higherassumed living costs and ongoing rate buffers.
This can reduce borrowing capacity – even when interest rates are steady.
Another key change is how negative gearing is now being treated.
Some lenders are reducing the benefit of rental losses in income assessments – and that can impact how much investors are able to borrow.
The result is a widening gap between lenders, with borrowing power varying significantly depending on policy.
If you are in the market, it is a vital time to reassess your lending eligibility and options through an experienced broker.
You should also review tax strategies with your accountant.
Get wealth structure ready for 2027
The recent federal budget marks a massive structural shift in how our nation taxes wealth.
The government is moving its tax focus away from earned income and squarely onto investment assets and structures. If you use discretionary trusts, negative gearing or hold capital-appreciating assets, your financial plan likely needs a review before new rules phase in.
Four major proposals stand out:
• negative gearing curbs: restricting tax offsets on established properties bought after budget night
• Capital Gains Tax (CGT) overhaul: replacing the 50 per cent CGT discount with cost-base indexation and a 30 per cent minimum tax rate
• Trust taxation (excluding Testamentary Trusts): enforcing a strict 30 per cent minimum tax rate on discretionary trust incomes.
• The pre-CGT asset shock: in a major shift for older investors, assets acquired before September 20, 1985, will lose their full exemption status. Capital gains built up after July 1, 2027, will now be taxed.
It is vital to note that these measures are not yet law. The legislation is before parliament and undergoing intense debate and adjustments, meaning details could still change. However, we cannot wait until the ink is dry to prepare. Relying on smart asset structuring to protect your portfolio is now more critical than ever.
AML/CTF laws are changing
From July 1, changes to Australia’s AntiMoney Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) legislation will extend to certain services provided by accounting firms and other professional service providers.
These reforms are being introduced by the Australian government and administered by AUSTRAC. As part of these changes, SRJ Walker Wayland may be required to collect, verify and maintain certain information about clients when providing designated services.
For most existing clients, there will be little or no immediate impact. But there may be circumstances where we are required to seek extra information or documentation to meet legal obligations. What does this mean for you?
For most existing clients, there will be little or no immediate impact. You can continue working with us as you do today. However, there may be circumstances where we are required to request additional information or documentation to comply with our legal obligations.

THE VITAL INGREDIENTS FOR IMPROVED VITALITY
Vitality is feeling like yourself again – only stronger. If you feel like you are struggling to keep up with life, your energy levels are dropping and you’re finding it hard to feel like yourself, then let’s chat about supporting your vitality.
Vitality is what you feel when your body keeps pace with your life.
When your focus is clear, your movement feels effortless and your energy lasts beyond the morning.
Vitality isn’t about adding more years to life. It’s about adding more life to your days.
Here’s a few ways to support your vitality.
At the core of vitality is how the body generates and manages energy.
Everything starts with a cell.
NAD+ is a molecule every cell relies on to produce energy and maintain normal cellular function.
It plays a fundamental role in cellular energy production, cellular stress responses, metabolic regulation, DNA repair and mitochondrial function.
Because NAD+ levels naturally decline over time, supporting its availability is considered important for maintaining energy, resilience and overall cellular function.
It’s about supporting your body so it works with you, not against you.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide plays a role in this internal cycle, contributing to pathways that help fuel daily activity at a foundational level. It plays a key role as a direct precursor to NAD. When these pathways are well supported, the difference is noticeable: not as a spike, but as steady capability.
To wake up with energy that carries you through the day, activated B vitamins are another key piece. The bioavailable forms of essential B vitamins are ready for immediate use, helping the body process nutrients efficiently and supporting neurological and cognitive demands.
But recovery matters just as much as output.
Glycine contributes to balance by supporting restorative processes that help the body reset, particularly when stress and stimulation are constant.
Protection is essential, too.
Glutathione is central to the body’s natural defence network, helping neutralise everyday environmental and metabolic by-products so internal systems stay balanced.
Glutathione helps the liver do its job by supporting the body’s ability to process and clear toxins produced by daily living and environmental exposure.
Plant-derived compounds further strengthen this picture.
Quercetin and curcumin are widely studied for their role in maintaining equilibrium within the body – especially when physical or inflammatory pressures increase.
From nature’s most polyphenol-rich sources, pomegranate and green tea deliver compounds that help maintain internal stability, while Japanese knotweed provides a concentrated source of trans-resveratrol: valued for its role in cellular signalling.
Each ingredient serves a purpose.
Together, they form a coordinated approach: fuel, protection and restoration working in sync.
Alongside targeted supplements, we can look at food as medicine to maintain our vitality.
Highly processed foods that contain inflammatory ingredients and fake foods make our bodies work harder to process them. Nourish yourself with a range of wholefoods that are fresh, organic, seasonal and diverse, and the vitality from the foods will transfer to you.
Fermented foods that contain essential bacteria feed your microbiome, which in turn helps to absorb nutrients better and supports neurotransmitter function.
Lifestyle practice can enhance or drain the feeling of vitality, also.
Have a closer look at your sleep habits, the things you have in your life that bring you joy, the practices you have that enable you to have resilience to stress and keep you feeling fit and strong.
We can do so many things with our diet, lifestyle and supplements to target our cells and support vitality.
If you want to feel like yourself again, speak to a qualified health practitioner before adding any new supplements or changes to your routine.
Getting the right doses and products matter. Our naturopaths are here to help. Vitality isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about creating the conditions that allow your body to respond, adapt and perform, day after day.
That’s what it means to feel truly vital.

INTRODUCING AUSTRALIA’S NEXT GENERATION OF VISION SUPPORT
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare worldwide, and ophthalmology is no exception.
As patient demand grows and expectations for faster, more accessible care rise, eye clinics are adopting advanced technologies to enhance patient experience while maintaining high standards of clinical care. At EyeHub, innovation focuses on improving patient outcomes, not on replacing the human touch.
This year, EyeHub is introducing two initiatives to support patients before, during and after their vision-correction journey.
The first is the Neuro-Adaptation Training Program for patients considering or undergoing PRESBYOND® and Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE). While vision correction discussions typically focus on the eyes, the brain plays a critical role in adapting to a new visual system. After PRESBYOND and RLE, patients often experience an adjustment period as the brain learns to process vision differently.
EyeHub is among the first ophthalmology practices in Australia –certainly the first on the Sunshine Coast – to formally integrate structured neuro-adaptation training into patient care.
Available before and after surgery, the program uses targeted visual exercises and adaptation strategies to prepare patients for their new vision, build confidence, reduce uncertainty and support a smoother adaptation process.
The second initiative is Amelia, EyeHub’s Virtual Vision Assistant. Available 24/7, Amelia has been developed specifically for ophthalmology and trained on more than 24 years of patient interaction data from more than 1000 eyecare practices. Unlike many generic AI systems, her knowledge extends far beyond the information from any single clinic.
Amelia can answer questions about cataract surgery, laser vision correction, referrals, costs and appointments: just like a human admin person. She is not designed to replace people but support them, allowing the team and Dr Sonia Moorthy to spend more time on patients.

STROKE TEAM’S QUALITY PATIENT CARE RECOGNISED
Sunshine Coast University Hospital’s stroke team has been awarded for providing excellent care to the community.
The team has been presented with a World Stroke Organisation Angels Awards Gold Status award.
“It’s a fantastic way to let the community know that when they come to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, that they’re going to get timely, hyper-acute treatments, within the recommended time frames, guided by national stroke targets,” Sunshine Coast Health stroke clinical nurse consultant Bailey McNamara says.
“It showcases our hard work. We’re coming every day to work to provide the best timely, hyper-acute therapies for our patients and making sure that they’re receiving, quality stroke care.”
The award recognises the team’s efforts to ensure patients are receiving a high level of care, and is based off data from OctoberDecember last year showing the hospital is excelling in a number of key criteria.
“They’re achieving great things in stroke such as thrombolysing patients in under 60 minutes,” Stroke Angels consultant Queensland Rob Hopkinson says.
Stroke nurse practitioner Jess Pyman
says the community should be aware of the symptoms of stroke, as every minute matters when it comes to treatment.
“The acronym FAST represents the most common signs or symptoms of a stroke,” she says
“So, ‘F’ stands for face – that could be their facial weakness; ‘A’ stands for their arm – so, that could be arm weakness or loss of sensation or in coordination; ‘S’ is speech – so, that could be slurring speech, incomprehensive speech or just not being able to understand or people understanding them; and ‘T’ is time –call an ambulance ASAP: get to a hospital immediately.”

BEFORE YOU GIVE UP ON YOUR HEARING AIDS, TAKE TIME FOR A QUICK REVIEW
Many people live with hearing aids that simply aren’t working as well as they should.
They may whistle, sound unclear, feel uncomfortable or spend more time sitting in a drawer than being worn.
Over time, frustration builds – not just for the person wearing them, but often for family and friends as well. Conversations become harder, television volumes creep up, and loved ones begin repeating themselves more often.
The good news? You don’t always need new hearing aids. Sometimes, you simply need a fresh perspective.
A free second opinion on your hearing aids can uncover issues that are often easy to fix. Your hearing may have changed since your last appointment. Your devices may need reprogramming, servicing, cleaning or simple adjustments to restore clarity and comfort. In some cases, people were never properly shown how to use their hearing aids confidently in everyday situations.
If you’re not happy with the sound quality, avoiding wearing your devices or finding background noise overwhelming, it’s worth having them reviewed. Hearing technology has also improved significantly
in recent years, and many people are surprised to discover features they already have that could make listening far easier.
Family feedback is often the clearest signal. If loved ones are saying you still can’t hear properly, it may mean your current settings are no longer meeting your needs.
A second opinion is pressure-free, informative and focused on helping you hear your best again. Better hearing can improve confidence, communication, relationships and overall quality of life. And sometimes, the smallest adjustment can make the biggest difference.
Meet the team at Hear Again Audiology and take the first step toward clearer, more confident hearing.

HIGH-TECH ORTHOPAEDIC CARE FOR HAPPY HIPS, KNEES AND ANKLES
Orthopaedic care is evolving rapidly, with technology and treatment approaches offering patients more options than ever before.
One of the more significant advancements is roboticassisted surgery, which allows for greater precision in joint replacement procedures.
“Robotic technology allows us to plan and perform surgery with a level of accuracy that wasn’t possible before,” says Dr Navi Bali (pictured), a Mako top-10 surgeon in Queensland for robotic Mako hip and knee replacements volume in 2024 and 2025.
“It has the potential benefits of better alignment and a smoother recovery for patients.”
Dr Bali added that surgery is not always the first step.
“Many patients benefit from nonoperative treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, which can reduce pain and support the body’s natural healing process,” he says.
“There’s no age too young or too old to improve mobility. If lower-limb pain is impacting your functionality, we have
options to get you back to the hobbies, exercise and lifestyle you love.”

GRAMMAR CELEBRATES 30 YEARS AND OPENS NEW PRIMARY PRECINCT
Sunshine Coast Grammar School recently celebrated a significant milestone, marking 30 years since its foundation, with a series of events that brought together students, staff, alumni and families.
A key highlight of the celebrations was the official opening of the new Primary Precinct – a major milestone for the school.
The completed precinct features three purpose-built buildings, as well as a new cafeteria for students, staff and families, creating a modern and welcoming environment designed to support educational excellence.
As part of the celebrations, Grammar held a special 30 Year Foundation Day Assembly to acknowledge Year 12 lifelong learners (students who have been at the school since Prep) and their families, as well as long-serving staff who have helped shape the school for three decades.
opportunity to leave their mark on Grammar’s future.
Mrs Owen says the milestone reflects the strength of the school’s history and its focus on the future.
“Our commitment to growth is not just about buildings,” she says.
“It’s about our people – our community, our students, our families and our staff.
Complementing this milestone was the launch of the Watch Us Grow campaign: a community-driven sustainability initiative that reflects Grammar’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable growth.
Through the campaign, students, staff and families contributed to the planting of more than 1000 native seedlings.
Delivered in partnership with the school’s People, Planet and Progress program, spearheaded by principal Anna Owen, the initiative gives every student the
“Every decision we make is guided by our values of People, Planet and Progress.”
The completion and opening of the Primary Precinct reflects Sunshine Coast Grammar School’s continued investment in high-quality facilities, ensuring students are supported to thrive academically and personally.
As the school looks ahead, it remains focused on building on its strong foundations, guided by a shared sense of purpose and a connection to its community.
Campus tours are available at Grammar’s upcoming Open Day on Wednesday, August 12.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)
This week Mercury reverses through your home zone from Tuesday morning until July 24. So, expect some domestic disruptions and/or family friction. Slow down, Rams! An innovative, creative and patient approach will get you through.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)
Mercury Retrograde season starts on Tuesday. So – if you stir up grievances with an old adversary – you could bite off more than you can chew! When it comes to relationships, avoid quick fixes. You’ll come up with a satisfactory solution by thinking things through.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)
Mercury begins reversing through your secrets and finances zones on Tuesday morning. So, keep your lips zipped and be very clear during any transactions. Then Jupiter transits into your travel zone on Tuesday afternoon, so foreign shores beckon.
QUIZ
1. Which Australian political figure quit the National Party in November 2025?
TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)
On Tuesday, prosperity planet Jupiter transits into your domestic zone. So – sometime over the next 12 months – you could redecorate, renovate, build an extension, sell property, buy a new home, relocate or even start a home-based business.
VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)
Are people aware of the substantial amount of work you’re doing? Don’t be disappointed if others aren’t showing their appreciation. Your efforts will be rewarded further down the track. In the meantime, focus your attention on helping others.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)
Conscientious Capricorns can easily become preoccupied with the distractions of daily life. This week Venus and Jupiter light up your intuition and secrets zones, so aim to spend some quality time on your own. Slow down and listen to the quiet voice within.
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
Expect a rather chaotic week, as Mercury (your ruling planet) turns retrograde on Tuesday. Jupiter is also jumping into your local travel and neighbourhood zones. So –over the coming year – you’ll make some exciting connections within your local community.
LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)
Communication planet Mercury reverses through your career zone (until July 24), so work relations could be challenging. Pick your battles carefully, choose your words wisely, plus check all meetings and appointment times thoroughly.
AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)
Expect the unexpected this week – especially involving children, teenagers, friends or lovers.
Hasty Mars hooks up with unruly Uranus (your patron planet) on Saturday, when you’re inclined to unpredictability, like starting a new project or falling in love very fast.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
With Mercury reversing through your sign (from Tuesday until July 24) resist the urge to stress and overreact – especially involving personal matters. Think things through, but avoid getting caught up in an endless loop. Try to relax and go with the flow.
SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)
The week starts with Mercury reversing through your travel and adventure zones. If you are going away in the next three weeks make sure you double-check your itinerary. And (if possible) avoid signing contracts and documents until after July 24.
PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)
Mercury turns retrograde early on Tuesday. It’s the planet of clear thinking, communication, travel, commerce, computers, media and the internet. So, it’s not a good time to do anything within those realms. Instead, be patient and wait until after July 24.

TRI-STOREY DESIGN MAKES THE MOST OF PRIME ‘GOLDEN CIRCLE’ POSITION
BUILDING ON HOUSING FUNDAMENTALS
Factors including population growth and low unemployment are driving the demand for new homes, despite softening sales numbers in May.
Australia’s new home market continues to show signs of resilience, with sales remaining well above year-ago levels, despite a softer result in May.
The latest Housing Industry Association (HIA) New Home Sales Report found sales over the three months to May were 18.9 per cent higher than for the same period in 2025, highlighting ongoing demand for
housing amid strong population growth and low unemployment.
Nationally, new home sales fell 16.7 per cent in May, following two months of strong activity – a result the HIA says reflects uncertainty among buyers rather than a weakening of housing demand.
“This poor result for May reflects a loss of confidence rather than a deterioration in
the underlying demand for housing,” HIA chief economist Tim Reardon says.
“Sales of new homes fell by 16.7 per cent nationally in May 2026, following two months of strong sales activity.
“Despite the decline, sales over the three months to May remained 18.9 per cent higher than the same period a year earlier.”
Mr Reardon says households are weighing up a range of economic factors before committing to a purchase.
“New home sales have softened as households navigate the cumulative impact of three cash rate increases, heightened geopolitical uncertainty and proposed changes to housing tax policy announced in the federal budget,” he says.
“Importantly, it is not the budget measures themselves that have weighed on sales. Rather, it is the uncertainty surrounding the proposed changes.
“Purchasing a home is the largest financial decision most households will make. When households are uncertain about the economic outlook, their employment prospects or future housing policy settings, they often delay that decision until there is greater clarity.”
He says similar conditions have been experienced in the past, including during the 2019 federal election campaign.
“During the 2019 federal election campaign, uncertainty surrounding
proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax contributed to weaker housing activity,” Mr Reardon says.
“Once that uncertainty was removed, confidence and housing demand recovered rapidly.
“The recent moderation in sales should therefore be viewed as a decline in confidence rather than a decline in housing demand.
“This is reinforced by the strong population growth over the past year and sustained low levels of unemployment.”
Across the states, NSW recorded a 4.2 per cent increase in sales during May, despite being particularly sensitive to interest rate movements.
Queensland remained steady, with sales edging up 0.3 per cent, while Victoria recorded the largest monthly decline: falling 27.4 per cent.
Sales also eased in Western Australia and South Australia.
Looking ahead, the HIA believes the fundamentals underpinning housing demand remain firmly in place, even with continuing supply constraints.
“Australia’s population increased by more than 400,000 people last year, unemployment remains low and household sizes continue to decline,” Mr Reardon says.
“These factors are all generating demand for additional housing.”

About 40 years ago, I was coming in from surfing and, as I bent down to undo my leg rope, two beautiful girls were walking towards me wearing only shoes and the old-school peak tennis hat. A Bay back then was quite the nudist beach. I fell down on one knee with my arms open and yelled: “There is a Father Christmas. Who knew?”
They laughed. I laughed. We all kept walking at the end of a perfect surf.
The moral of the story: A Bay does get some good waves from time to time and can be quite the adventure.
