2026 Finalist — Adviser of the Year, Aged Care

We're proud to share that Sonal Gupta, Director and Principal Adviser of LifeScope Wealth, has been recognised as a finalist for Adviser of the Year — Aged Care at the 2026 Australian Wealth Management Awards. The awards, run by Money Management and Super Review, recognise excellence across the Australian financial advice and wealth management profession.

Being named among the national finalists in the aged care category is meaningful to us because aged care is one of the most complex — and most emotionally difficult — areas of financial advice a family ever faces. Decisions around residential aged care costs, Refundable Accommodation Deposits (RAD) versus Daily Accommodation Payments (DAP), means testing, the family home and Age Pension entitlements often need to be made quickly and under real pressure. This recognition reflects the care and technical depth we bring to helping Australian families through exactly those moments.

What this means for our clients

Nothing about the way we work changes — but we hope this independent recognition offers reassurance that you're working with an adviser whose aged care expertise is respected across the profession. Whether you're weighing up a RAD or DAP, trying to understand how a parent's home will be treated, or simply need clear advice quickly, our approach remains the same: practical, holistic, and centred on your family's circumstances.
