Next Stepz – your new retirement resource

A new opportunity for self-funded retirees

A new way of staying active and independent for longer, on your terms, Next Stepz is a service organisation founded by Alison Zappala. Alison is a Registered Nurse with AHPRA. Alison’s qualifications also include a Bachelor Business and Graduate Diploma in Strategic Leadership. After many years working in the retirement and aged care sectors, Alison realised that one group, self-funded retirees were not accessing and maximising the opportunities and resources at their disposal. Now with Next Stepz you can make informed decisions and enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve worked for.

Self-funded retirees, an underserviced sector

Typical aged care services are designed for people requiring and receiving government subsidies and support. There are many organisations providing information, services and advice to those in the government support system. When it comes to self-funded retirees, the picture is quite different.

Are you self-funded?

Having been financially successful and prudent enough to provide for your own retirement and aged care expenses, you will be used to making decisions, based on a logical assessment of all the available options that closely meet your requirements. In your work and private lives, you may have also used the services of experts to provide you with advice on what options are available and the pros and cons of each, with regards to your individual situation. Next Stepz is such a service for this stage of your life, providing you with the choice and quality you’ve come to expect.
