Since my article last month, the Australian 'mood' has definitely moved on from relief that Covid-19 cases seem to be under control to a new phase which is focussing on when lockdown restrictions will ease.

Another month of the weird new world of Covid-19 and there are some things about our new lives that are starting to feel strangely normal.

We are certainly living through challenging and unprecedented times. You will soon see new initiatives to bring more of our training online and provide online tools that can help your staff who are working remotely.

It was great to see some of you at the SMSF Association National Conference on the Gold Coast. If you were there, I think you’ll agree that the conference had a real buzz this year.

To me, February is always about the SMSF Association National Conference and Heffron will be there in force this year. Lyn Formica, Leigh Mansell and I will all be speaking and we hope to see you at our sessions.

You will notice we changed our branding and our website. There’s a reason for this, but before I dive into that, I probably need to provide you with a little background.
