Adrienne Rush has been my Financial Advisor for 3 years redesigning my Super after I downsized, it has performed very well. Adrienne also was a great help in obtaining for me my entitlements from Centrelink. Adrienne has also been a great sounding board on other matters such as Estate Planning and health issues and is a reassuring back up to have on your side. Only a call away she is invariably friendly and helpful, and I would gladly recommend her to anyone.

I was recommended by a friend of mine to connect with Adrienne Rush regarding sorting out my finances and seeking Aged Care advice. I was very sceptical as I had never had dealings with a financial advisor before. Being in a management position for many years I was looking for action, good advice and guidance. I made an appointment where Adrienne came to me. We immediately got to work, and I must say I was in awe of the professionalism and skill that Adrienne had. The day after that meeting I had the process sent to me written out in a way that I could understand and a program of forward planning. I’m impressed. A week later I received documents for viewing and signing. I recommend Adrienne highly as she truly exceeded my expectations.

I was struggling with my financial situation when I first met with Adrienne. She appeared to be approachable, honest, compassionate and exceptionably knowledgeable. I felt I could trust her completely and that my financial affairs would be in good hands with her…and they have been. She has made an enormous positive difference to my life by treating me with authenticity, honesty, compassion. Adrienne has a lovely manner and reassures and encourages me to take a chance on things to fulfill my wishes and dreams.

Adrienne was recommended to me when my father’s health suddenly deteriorated, and he was diagnosed with Lewis body dementia. I needed Adrienne’s assistant to help us navigate social security entitlements and how the financial aspect of aged care worked and how our decisions would impact dad’s pension. My brother had lived with my father for approximately 15 years so that was also a big consideration in our decision making as I didn’t want to negatively impact my brother. We were also so confused about the type of care available to us and what other benefits we could draw upon. Adrienne’s assistance was invaluable and took away all the anxiety of making these decisions. She dealt with social security for us, recommended aged care homes to visit, helped us complete all the financial forms required for both aged care and social services and told us about other resources we had no clue even existed. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance navigating this very confusing subject. We could not have done it without her.

We would highly recommend Adrienne.

I met Adrienne over 12 years ago at a time when I was facing the complexities of leaving work, dealing with an illness and trying to work out my finances so I could retire. Adrienne gave me advice on how to set things up so I could retire with confidence. Adrienne takes the time to help me understand my financial situation, she makes the complex into simple easy to understand language. Knowing that I have Adrienne there to oversee everything gives me the confidence and peace of mind because I know that my money and investments are being well managed. Adrienne is honest, dependable, consistent and easy to work with and I highly recommend her services.

Adrienne has been my Financial Advisor for many years, and this was certainly one of the best decisions that I ever made. It was a daunting task at first trying to find someone I could trust and depend on. Adrienne’s help and advice over the years has been exceptional and invaluable to me and she is always there to talk things through when I need. For anyone looking for an Advisor who cares about their clients and goes that extra step then she is that person.

Adrienne has been my Financial Adviser for many years now and I have always found Adrienne to be incredibly hard working and extremely knowledgeable about finances, and also a pleasure to work with. I chose Adrienne as my financial advisor because not only does she care, she listens! Adrienne has been there with me through the ups and downs of the market and monitors my pension with me to make sure I am comfortable and happy. I always recommend Adrienne to anybody who expresses any interest in consulting a financial advisor sometimes even to people who haven't expressed an interest in financial affairs.

Flemington
Many years ago, when we first met Adrienne, we needed to know how to set our finances up for retirement, which Superannuation fund would suit our requirements the best, help navigating Centrelink, and we did not know how to invest our money to optimise returns that also suited our comfort and preferences. We needed to find an adviser that was trustworthy and acts for her clients in their best interests. With Adrienne’s intervention it has allowed us to enjoy our transition to and subsequent move into retirement without the extra pressure of managing our funds. Adrienne has maintained an active role in the maintenance of our portfolios thus optimising the performance in line with our preferences. Adrienne always has a happy, positive demeanour throughout our consultations and meetings, whether it is by phone or face to face. Adrienne is knowledgeable but always explains complex issues in plain language. In other words, she knows her stuff and doesn’t use jargon. Adrienne is up front and transparent about the workings of her advice and takes as much time as needed to make sure we understand the things she has done and what she proposes to do, always with written consent.

During a time of grief, after the death of our father, we needed to find an aged care facility for our dear mum. We didn’t know where to start. Where do we look, what questions do we ask, how much would it cost? What does Respite mean, permanent care, RADs, DAPs? We found navigating the aged care system to be complex and overwhelming. Adrienne not only assisted us by carefully explaining the aged care system and all its many intricacies. She assisted us by liaising as our go-between person with the chosen aged care facility, with professional acumen and diligence. Adrienne’s knowledge and experience is unquestionable, her professional and caring manner much appreciated. After the death of our dad, during such an emotional time in our lives, Adrienne became someone we could lean on and talk to, with no question too minor or unimportant, always responding in a timely manner. Our family would not hesitate to recommend Adrienne to anyone who may be seeking caring, professional and knowledgeable support. Thank you again Adrienne, most sincerely for everything you have done for us. We couldn’t have done anything without you.

Gaynor and Jae Emerald
Adrienne has been our Financial Advisor for approximately 15 Years We contacted Adrienne during the 2008 financial crisis due to the inaction of our then Advisors Adrienne was able to restructure our financial affairs and stemmed the losses we were incurring Since that time Adrienne has provided enormous support and advice which has resulted in very positive outcomes. My view of Adrienne is such that I have recommended her to friends seeking financial advice as well as aged care advice. In summarising, our view is that Adrienne is an outstanding advisor with excellent knowledge across a number of relevant facets of financial advice and we know that as we get older the more important that advice is to us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Adrienne to others due to her extensive knowledge across all elements across the financial advice sector, her extremely supportive approach and her capability to keep clients abreast of changes and opportunities.
Barry & Carol Jan Juc
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional support and guidance provided by Adrienne Rush from iCare Financial Advisory regarding my father’s aged care needs. Navigating this process was overwhelming, but she made it significantly easier to understand. From our first meeting, Adrienne was generous with her time and demonstrated a deep understanding of the financial implications of aged care and the most effective way in dealing with Centrelink. She took the time to explain all options available, tailored a strategy that aligned with our family’s goals and helped us make informed decisions. Adrienne’s compassion and expertise were invaluable, ensuring we felt supported every step of the way. I am thankful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone facing similar challenges.

Adrienne assisted our family during a difficult and stressful time when we were negotiating the complexities of aged care. She was knowledgeable and provided excellent advice, was available and responded promptly to our concerns and even negotiated with the aged care provider. I have no hesitation is recommending her to others.
Ann Balwyn North
I was introduced to Adrienne by a good friend. My late husband had always managed our finances, and I had very little knowledge of investing, I needed advice on what to do with my finances, how best to set my money up. Adrienne gave me advice on ow to structure my finances, how to invest in a way I was comfortable, she took the time to explain and educate me. I am very fortunate to enjoy my lifestyle, and I feel secure. I now have a good understanding of my financial situation, and I am totally confident in my choices. I would recommend Adrienne’s services because she takes such a personal interest in her client’s situation, not just financial but also personal, she is very well qualified, constantly looks for ways to improve my financial situation.

After working with Adrienne on a mutual client relationship I then engaged Adrienne to assist with three further clients requiring aged care advice who I had been appointed by VCAT as financial administrator. I engaged Adrienne’s services because I was impressed with her knowledge and capacity to engage with and identify with clients. Adrienne is approachable and not only has an ongoing interest in the financial management, but she cares for them as people. She is always responsive and compassionate. I would recommend Adrienne’s services because she provides a high level of professional advice and has her client’s interests at heart both financially and personally.
Kevin

I contacted Adrienne because I needed assistance with Centrelink and advice on how to maximise my income and balance my pension in retirement. I needed an advocate to work things out with Centrelink and I didn’t know how to manage my super or maximise my income. Adrienne went into detail about how it all works and options on what we could do, it felt like a big weight had come off my shoulders. The information and guidance made me feel very comfortable and secure. I would recommend Adrienne because she is mobile, accessible when needed and very knowledgeable. She took time to explain things fully, she is comfortable to be around and easy going.

Altona Meadows
About 10 years ago we met Adrienne because we wanted to plan ahead for our future retirement, we had no knowledge or understanding on how to put it together. We now have a much better understanding of financial planning and what we needed to do to plan for our future. With Adrienne’s advice we have put strategies into place to grow our retirement savings that we wouldn’t have thought about ourselves. This process has given us confidence about our financial situation and that we can retire knowing that we can enjoy our retirement years. We would recommend Adrienne because she is knowledgeable, gives advice with options, works with us and explains things so we understand the strategies and reasons. Adrienne is approachable, a good listener and communicator.
Dave & Carol
Newport
We have been clients of Adrienne for 10 years plus. It's always a slightly fearful moment when you decide to entrust your money to someone, even if you feel you know them well and believe they have your best interests at heart. Well, we took that step and have absolutely no regrets. Indeed, it is probably the most sensible financial decision John, and I have ever made. We are sure Adrienne's, clearly very well researched market advice and her wonderful personal and efficient service, have made a great contribution to our financial and personal well-being. We have no hesitation recommending Adrienne as an effective and trustworthy financial advisor.
John & Nola

I thought the service I received from Adrienne was great, I was able to retire with some set projects and lots of help getting it all sorted out. Adrienne gave me great advice about setting up my super into an income stream and before I retired, she helped me with super contributions and ways to maximize my portfolio and manage my tax rewarding me with a lovely super bonus. My Super has increased with her recommendations. The ideas Adrienne put forward to me and the help to get it all in place was invaluable thank you Adrienne.
Jenny
Darley
We were at a loss and didn’t know how to find a Financial Adviser when our mother was needing more care, and we were unsure about selling her home or what to do with the proceeds. We were referred to Adrienne by Carers Vic. We didn’t know how to pay for aged care or how to invest surplus money or the impact it had on Centrelink. The most important thing to Mum was making sure her children would be looked after when she passed. We needed to find a financial adviser who could also relate well to mum and rest her mind at peace. Adrienne did exactly that, she not only gave mum peace of mind, but she clarified the maze of aged care financials, completed the paperwork and made the process very easy, it was less stressful than we thought it would be. Adrienne took away the burden of worry and overwhelming paperwork, she was very caring and took the time to explain it all to us ensuring we understood. Mum loved being involved in her own financial planning. We would recommend Adrienne not only for aged care but also for retirement advice. She is very easy to talk to, can break down things in layman’s terms, makes things simple and is very knowledgeable and completely transparent, she always follows up and is accessible and forthcoming.

Adrienne’s knowledge of the market, investing and all I’ve complete trust in. I was recommended to her by a friend, coming close to three years later Adrienne’s advice about my investments and future with not being able to work due to a lifelong injury, I know she has my best interest at heart. Personally, I’ve learnt a lot about investments and today have some knowledge of all but to be honest I’ve got a very capable lady taking that pressure off me. I would highly recommend Adrienne and have to a few colleagues of mine that are from my Para quad south Australian catch-up group. Adrienne has proved her top-notch advice and support in a confidential manner especially this year after a huge change in circumstances. I’m extremely fortunate to have her and to visit me in my hometown of Adelaide. I can’t thank her enough for being my Angel looking out for me.
Rachelle

We were fortunate to be referred to Adrienne by a family friend who had benefitted from her services. My wife and I have greatly appreciated the personalised financial advice that Adrienne has provided us over a number of years. She has always been generous with her time and very thorough in her assessment and review of our position. We particularly value the fact that she takes the time to update on our changing circumstances as time goes by so that she can recommend investment solutions that are optimised for our family’s needs.

Before I met Adrienne, I was so worried about paying for my care and not having enough money to pay for other important things like medication. I couldn’t sleep I was so worried. Meeting Adrienne was a godsend, she was so helpful, kind and knowledgeable and very good at listening. Adrienne sorted it all out and put my mind at rest. Adrienne is like having a god daughter, she has been fantastic, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with working out aged care.

When we first met Adrienne, we didn’t know what to do about investing for our future, we were approaching retirement and not sure how to prepare for it. Adrienne gave us a clear vision of where we were headed, we felt relieved and reassured about our future giving us confidence and peace of mind. Since working with Adrienne our financial situation has improved and we also have a much better understanding of how it works. Adrienne is very experienced, knowledgeable and easy to relate to. Adrienne takes the time and care to explain things and because we are so happy with her advice and service we have passed her details onto friends.

Katya
When I first met Adrienne, I was under considerable pressure to make quick and complex decisions about aged care options for my mother, with little understanding or information about the process or the financial implications. Adrienne had to start at the very beginning. I was concerned about how I was going to manage mum’s care, what options were available and financial status, I was overwhelmed and overloaded with information and terminology. Adrienne helped me to fill out the various forms and simplified what is a complex web of services but more importantly, made me feel confident everything was going to be ok. Thank you, Adrienne, for being there for me, for your guidance and support during a time of anxiety and bewilderment as I juggled the demands and obstacles presented to me. Thanks to you, my mother is now receiving the very best of care, in her community in which many of her friends are residents. She is so very happy and comfortable, and I have peace of mind.
Katya
Adrienne was always there for us, I just dumped everything on her to fix and she worked it out, made it simple. Adrienne guided me and just made things work and got it done, she assured me it would all be ok, like that song, “I was once lost and now I am found”, having met Adrienne has empowered me.
Pat
My very first meeting with Adrienne is still very clear in my mind, she created a friendly, relaxed and welcoming environment, felt from the outset she was honest, open and extremely knowledgeable. I felt a deep feeling of empathy and trust, I felt I was off to a great start with my future financial plans. It was clear in my mind she was a woman of integrity.
