⚖️ The recent Federal Budget announcement proposing a 30% minimum tax rate on discretionary testamentary trusts from 1 July 2028 has raised important considerations for Estate Planning. While the changes are not yet law, they highlight the importance of reviewing your Will and Estate Plan to ensure they remain flexible and aligned with future taxation and succession planning needs.

Our Wills & Estates team is available to help clients understand the proposed changes and discuss what they may mean for their existing arrangements.

Earlier this month, Director Craig Hong presented to the Australasian College of Dermatologists’ ASM Practice Manager Forum in Melbourne on the important and evolving area of managing patient information in specialist practices.

Craig explored privacy obligations, consent, disclosure, record retention, data breach response and the emerging risks associated with AI in healthcare. The session generated strong engagement from attendees, with practice managers keen to better understand their responsibilities in an increasingly complex compliance environment.
