Read about platform and digital solutions to help you.


We’re more focused than ever on ensuring our platform and digital solutions can help you manage your tasks and support your clients’ needs

As the coronavirus situation continues to evolve, supporting your business remains our priority. We’ve been heavily focused this year on our platform capability, especially during this heightened period of digital traffic and online requests.

As we all adapt to new working norms, we understand this creates challenges with even the simpler tasks or requests from your clients.

As part of our commitment to supporting your business, we’ll continue to focus on our platform resilience and being able to respond and complete your requests as quickly as possible.

A message from Cameron Garrett, Head of Macquarie Wealth Solutions

If you and your business have been impacted by coronavirus, please visit our financial assistance page or get in touch to discuss your situation and how we can provide ongoing support during this time.

Back to basics – quick guide to help you support client requests online

Many of you and your colleagues, if not all, may now be managing everyday administrative tasks to support your clients from your homes or offsite locations. Have a read of our ‘Back to basics’ article to help with some of the key tasks and functions you can do via our digital platform and online portals.

Requesting a Temporary Early Release of Super

If your clients have been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19), they may be eligible for a Temporary Early Release of Superannuation, a measure announced by the Federal Government. Your clients can apply online via the myGov website.

Read more about what these changes mean.

Visit this Australian Government page to view the ‘Early access to superannuation’ factsheet.

Changes to the pension minimums

As part of their response to the coronavirus, the Federal Government has announced a 50% reduction in the pension minimum requirements for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 financial years.

In response to this, we’ve reduced the minimum payment requirement online. View and amend these (if needed) via the ‘Pension details’ page in the adviser portal. Your wrap clients can also view their pension details online via the client portal.

Benefits of submitting Cash (CMA) applications online

During this time, you may be facing challenges with paper applications or print, sign and email applications and we’re taking this opportunity to remind you of our online application solution for the Macquarie CMA.

Some benefits include:

  • less chance of errors with our built in field validations
  • complete applications faster by saving your defaults 
  • no paper application required when using the online application tool
  • quicker ID verifications as AML is completed online so there’s no need for FSC forms or certified IDs if successful 
  • fast end-to-end processing (normally within 24 hours).

For more information on how to submit an online application, please search ‘online applications’ on Adviser Help Centre.

Do we have your clients’ email address?

Now, more than ever, it’s important to ensure we can get in touch with you and your clients if needed.

Although our contact centre lines are open, we, like many companies, are experiencing increased calls. Because of this, email is the quickest way to pass on information. Noting, we’ll never ask for you or your clients to confirm log in credentials via email.

We strongly recommend all your clients have an email on file with us.

It’s easy to update or add an email. Just ask your clients to log in to their account via macquarie.com.au and update their contact details online.
