Some dads say "I love you." Others say it with a plan.
Happy Father's Day to the dads, granddads and quiet achievers across regional Victoria — the ones who show they care by making sure the people and the businesses they love are looked after, today and down the track.
We are locals, backing locals. 💚
*LAST CHANCE!* You have until 10am tomorrow (Thurs 3 Sept) to nominate your winning Dad!
Good luck!
🏆 IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THE DEBATE: is your Dad a "practical gift" Dad, a "snacks only" Dad, or a "wears socks with sandals and owns it" Dad?
Good news — this Father's Day, he doesn't have to choose. Blackwood Advisory is giving one lucky Dad the full lineup:
🔨 $100 Bunnings voucher (so he can buy a thing, for The Shed, that fixes a different thing) ☕ "Dad" coffee mug (thanks Captain Obvious!) 🍫 Cadbury chocolate (his, allegedly — good luck getting a square Dad!) 🥜 Nobby's Nuts 🧦 Super Dad socks (cape not included, confidence definitely is) 🥩 Beef jerky (for the Dad who thinks snacks should require strong jaws!)
How to enter: 1️⃣ Like this post 2️⃣ Tag the Dad who deserves this in the comments 3️⃣ Share to your story/feed for a bonus entry 4️⃣ Follow Blackwood Advisory so you don't miss the announcement
Winner drawn Thursday 3 September, 10am. We'll comment and DM the winner — so keep an eye on your notifications (and maybe stop muting us).
Good luck, and Happy Father's Day to every Dad

🎉 A huge welcome to Cameron as he begins his very first day with the Bentleys Victoria team in Woodend!
Today marks an exciting milestone - not only for Cameron, but also for the Blackwood Advisory Regional Scholarship, which was created through a proud partnership between ourselves and La Trobe Business School, La Trobe University.
This scholarship was established to encourage and support regional students to pursue rewarding careers in accounting and financial planning, helping ensure regional communities continue to have access to trusted local advisers for generations to come.
As our inaugural scholarship recipient, Cameron is paving the way, and we couldn’t be more excited to see where this journey takes him. We’re incredibly proud to see him commence his career with our sister firm, Bentleys Australia and New Zealand, under the leadership of Partner, Cathy Stewart and the experienced Woodend team.
Congratulations Cameron, and welcome to the team! We’re so excited to have you on board and can’t wait to see all you’ll achieve. 👏
Finally, thanks to La Trobe University Bendigo Head of Campus Margaret O’Rourke, Rachel Mason and Kate Ashman for your support and partnership.

From 1 July 2026, employers will be required to pay Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions at the same time employees are paid.
While many businesses are aware of the upcoming changes, now is the time to ensure your payroll systems, processes and cash flow arrangements are ready.
Key things to consider include:
• Confirming your payroll software and systems are Payday Super compliant
• Reviewing payroll processes and payment workflows
• Assessing the cash flow impact of more frequent super payments
• Understanding the consequences of late or missed payments under the new regime
With the commencement date fast approaching, we encourage business owners and employers to seek advice sooner rather than later.
If you have questions about how Payday Super will affect your business, please speak with your Blackwood Advisory adviser. If you don't currently have an adviser and would like assistance, our team is here to help.
