School is back for 2017 and I hear parents across the country let out a long sigh…no more “I’m bored”, no more juggling play dates and supervision, just the usual morning routine and after school activities to get back into.

Personally I always loved the start of the school year, new uniforms, new books and new opportunities.

While reflecting on this I realised 2017 is 30 years since I started secondary school…oh goodness.

Speaking of new opportunities, the new school year is a great time for parents to review their income estimates for Centrelink purposes.

We are just over half way through the financial year, your circumstances may have changed and this may affect your entitlements – so sit down for a few minutes to review, your bank account may just thank you.
