As 30 June draws near, it’s a timely opportunity for property investors to take stock. Whether you’re looking to upgrade appliances, carry out essential repairs, or invest in a depreciation schedule—these decisions can support the ongoing value of your investment and, in many cases, offer tax-deductible benefits.
It’s also a moment to think beyond the balance sheet.
End of financial year is a natural time to reflect on how we can support the community around us. With the rising cost of living, winter in Fremantle can be especially challenging for those doing it toughest. A donation to a registered charity not only makes a difference—it’s also tax-deductible.
Here are just a few local organisations doing incredible work:
-
St Pat’s Community Support Centre – supporting people experiencing or at risk of homelessness
-
Kai Fella Foundation – focused on youth mental health and wellbeing
-
Freo Street Kitchen – offering nourishing meals and connection
-
Foodbank – helping ensure food relief is available when it’s needed most
-
Fremantle Foundation – enabling impactful, community-led giving
Closer to home (and far away), our very own North Coogee specialist Carlie Baker is currently in Java, Indonesia, where she’s literally getting her hands dirty—building a house with Habitat for Humanity. It’s been a moving experience, with the father and son of the family Carlie’s helping showing up each day to build alongside her. If you’d like to support Carlie’s project and contribute to a safe home for this family, you can make a donation here
Even the smallest gesture can create lasting change. If you’re in a position to give, the end of financial year is a meaningful time to do so.
And as always, if you’d like a hand with understanding what may be claimable as a property investor—or ways you can give back—we’re here to help.
