Over 4.4 million Australians currently live with a disability. They lead meaningful lives, raising families, working, and contributing to local communities. However, these Australians face unique financial challenges that can significantly affect them and their families. While Australia has support systems like the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Disability Support Pension (DSP), managing finances with a disability often requires careful planning and understanding of various resources and options available.
ActOn Wealth’s financial advisors in Melbourne empower Australians with disabilities and their families to build strong financial futures through personalised strategies that maximise support and independence.

If you face any of these barriers, we’re here to help you overcome them and build a stronger financial future.
Medical care and treatment, installing universal design features at home, transport adaptations, and ongoing medical care and support all come at a cost.
Understanding your eligibility for certain financial benefits, managing pension requirements and navigating schemes such as NDIS can be overwhelming.
According to the Australian Institute of Welfare, more than a third of people with a disability are not satisfied with their financial position (compared to 14% without a disability).
ActOn Wealth delivers comprehensive financial services for people with disabilities. Our expertise in the following areas can help to transform your financial future.
Everyone has bills to pay, forms to fill out and financial commitments to honour, but you have more than your fair share. An easy-to-implement, realistic cashflow and budget provides you with a strong financial base from which you can build. When you get this right, everything else flows. And we have just the expert financial advisors to help you make it happen.
Navigating the complex landscape of disability support can be daunting, with numerous programs like NDIS, DSP, Centrelink benefits, and disability grants. Our specialist financial planners are dedicated to cutting through bureaucratic red tape, helping you identify and access the most relevant funding and support options tailored to your unique circumstances.
Whether you’re the relative of a person with a disability or someone with a disability, estate planning with trusts is very important and should not be overlooked. Too many Australians make the mistake of believing this can all somehow magically sort itself out once they have died. Putting a plan in place now ensures peace of mind that everyone will be cared for and looked after as intended.
ActOn Wealth is passionate about transforming the financial futures of Australians with disabilities and their families.
