Australian Defence Force Financial Services Consumer Council
Do you manage your money with a budget? Do you know how to decide about getting financial advice? What about getting a loan for that new car? The ADF Financial Services Consumer Council can help you understand and properly plan personal and family finances. As a member of the Defence family, your financial well-being is very important. The Council's activities are expanding into many areas of the ADF in order to achieve its goal of giving ADF members and their families the best chance of making the right decisions about their money and their futures.
The Australian Defence Force Financial Services Consumer Council (ADFFSCC) is prepared to undertake visits to units to help Commanding Officers and their personnel should they require assistance as a result of the implementation of the recent retention bonuses. The ADFFSCC website is located below:

Superannuation
Proposed changes to superannuation. This information is important for ADF members as the election period for the first MSBS Retention Benefit recipients to be affected starts very soon after the legislation is due to be passed. It is important that those members, and indeed any member considering one of the various retention/completion bonuses, get financial advice to maximise the tax-effectiveness of their bonuses.
