Supporting Information

If you are retrenched or are considering taking early retirement, with the aim of pursuing a fulfilling career in missions, you will need to have specialised advice at least as far as your finances and your health are concerned.

Financial Issues:

• handling your superannuation payment, and any termination payments;
• arranging investment strategies to best suit your life expectations;
• arranging for the management of investments or property;
• considering the likelihood of having some Centrelink Pension support;
• considering tax returns if overseas

There are quite a few Christian Financial Advisers who can handle each of these concerns very effectively for you.

You may care to contact one of the following companies, if you don't already have someone looking after this for you:

• Geoff Gawler of Swanton and Davidson, (03) 9882 5099
• Cathy Braun of Saward Dawson, (03) 9894 2500

Health Issues

For everyone over 45 years of age, there needs to be consideration of health issues. If facing a new career, this is more important again and if the location is overseas, there is even greater need to have specific advice as far as your health is concerned.

Your own medical practitioner should be the first source of good advice. He may well refer you to others to receive specialist information.

"The Travel Doctor" in Melbourne, in other capital cities, and on the Gold Coast, can provide skilled advice to people planning to travel or to work overseas. T
