Certified Financial Planner®. CSS & PSS specialist. Genuine fee for service.
I have been providing financial advice to CSS and PSS members since commencing employment as a financial planner with CSC Superannuation in 2013.
I am one of very few planners in Australia with extensive experience across federal, state and local government defined benefit schemes. Importantly, I can advise on the structure that will provide the best outcomes across multiple funds.
I have prepared some resources to assist CSS and PSS members with general questions and offer a range of specialist advice services for those with more personalised advice needs (see below).
I regularly publish articles of relevance to PSS and CSS members including two recent articles in the PS news. Please see below.
I have prepared a list of answers to the most common questions I have received during my time providing advice to CSS members and PSS members. Follow the links to learn more.
I have prepared a video series to help members understand the opportunities they have with their CSS and their PSS. The series can be accessed via my YouTube channel here.
Given the complex structure of the CSS and the PSS, it is very important to get specialist financial advice incorporating these product into your overall retirement plans. Learn more.

In my role as a financial adviser I meet many clients who are looking forward to the freedom retirement promises. They are aspiring to travel around Australia or around the world, help out with raising their grandchildren or pursue passion projects such as working at an NGO.
However, one key theme that underpins most questions, concerns and discussions that I continue to handle with clients is whether or not they will have achieved enough financially to be able to take their planned next steps. Read more.

Both myself and my wife were members of the CSS before retiring from the APS. Cameron Teague was recommended to us by trusted colleagues who had also used his advice for their own retirements. As a former senior Human Resources professional I appreciate the complexity and potential traps that poor advice could have on future …

Cameron Teague was recommended to me by a colleague. My husband spoke with him several years ago to investigate 54/11 options. It’s been great to be able to pick his brain around the complexities of CSS, 54/11 and redundancy and to know whether I leave my role through 54/11 or a redundancy, I know I’m …
