David MacManus – Treasurer
DMFS Financial Advisers is a personal services investment, superannuation and retirement planning business. According to Money Management, 67% of financial advisers do not believe client’s parents, DHS and aged care is an issue they are required to service. We believe that we can either assist with a client’s needs, or have the resources to refer to someone that can. Retirement planning is a focus of the firm, along with aged care and superannuation (40+ age bracket), which are all closely related (family related).

Paul Dwyer – General Committee
Paul has been assisting older Australians for the past 14 years in funding their retirement needs, whether that be when they are living independently at home or entering residential aged care.
He has been instrumental in building the reverse mortgage market, ensuring borrowers are properly protected and fully understand the decisions they are taking.
In being one of the very few specialist advisers in this segment, Paul’s knowledge and experience is greatly sought by potential borrowers, families, Government and industry bodies.
His advice to families looking to be better informed about aged care has become vitally important when making urgent and conclusive decisions.
As the Victorian foundation member of Aged Care Finance Solutions, Paul provides simple and “easy to understand” aged care advice, allowing families to consider all of the options and therefore make an informed decision. Importantly, Paul is well qualified to advise on aged care loans and the option to retain the family home and still pay for aged care.
