Are you worried about the rising cost of living?
Many retirees are struggling to pay for basic essentials like:
Utility Bills
Food
Groceries
Petrol
"It’s a cause of significant stress to thousands of retirees in the community".
The good news: there is a financial product that can solve this problem for homeowners over 60 years of age. Reverse Mortgage loans have been available in Australia since the late 1990’s, but many people still don’t understand how they work.

Nice Things People Have Said
I'd like to sincerely thank Adam Oakley from Seniors First who'd help me secure my reverse mortgage with Inviva.Adam was very thorough and professional when guiding me through all the steps. Adam constantly created a lot of confidence and showed a personal interest and patience during his follow-up. I highly recommend Adam from Seniors First if you family or friends are contemplating a reverse mortgage. Thank you again Adam. Geoffrey Lam.
Thanks very much to Adam Oakley who helped us though the process of choosing which bank would be our best option for our reverse mortgage. I had done quite a bit of research before choosing a broker to help us though this. We even watched a seminar that Adam had participated in. The brokers all know the rules and regulations, banking and government stuff, that is involved to make sure that we knew what the mortgage meant to our finances and what paperwork we had to supply and when. Luckily we have had a couple of businesses over the last 15 years and had a good idea of some of the processes so we were able to complete all the paperwork fairly quickly and send it to Adam. Much to our surprise the whole process only took about 5 weeks from when Adam first replied to my request for information and when we got settlement on our mortgage. Thank you very much to Adam and everyone at Seniors First in the background that might have helped to make this so easy for us.
Angela Giokaris facilitated our reverse mortgage with Seniors First. She was extremely helpful, having a great knowledge of the products and went the extra mile to ensure we both understood the various options which helped us decide on the most suitable option for our situation. She was always available to answer any queries we had. We have no hesitation in recommending her to other prospective clients.

I had made contact with Seniors First in 2023, In Feb 2025, Adam Oakley contacted me to find out if I was still interested in applying for a Reverse Mortgage, I confirmed this, but said I couldn't go ahead until I had confirmation from the builder, he then sent some necessary information, Adam continued to keep in touch. I finally got a quote from the builder and the process of applying for a Reverse Mortgage began. Adam was wonderful, as an elderly lady, I often found the legal jargon daunting, but Adam was always available to address my fears, nothing was too much bother. Finally it was time to sign the contracts etc, so much paper work. Once again Adam assured and explained everything and my fears disappeared. I now have the funds in the bank, and am ready and excited to start the new project in my house. I am so thankful to Adam for all his help, assurance and assistance.
I was lucky to have my broker Palka Kumar assigned to me for my Reverse Mortage loan. I found Palka to be extremely professional and extremely helpful in all the aspects of securing my loan. I highly recommend her to any future customers of Seniors First.

Seniors First provided a great service when I applied for my reverse mortgage.My advisor, Adam made the experience easy and was most helpfulAdams warmth and caring during the process was much appreciated.Ron WA.
Palka was fantastic and helped me through the process with great patience and understanding. She was very thorough and always helpful and a phone call away if I needed anything. Yes, it's possible to do this without a broker, but for me it was money very well spent as I would not have known about the options available or pitfalls to avoid. I was never pressured into anything, was given numerous options, and the process was explained in great detail. I definitely recommend Seniors First.
