Webinar: Federal Budget – Tax Reform, Lending & Property

Last update - 21 May 2026 By James Woods

The 2026 Federal Budget has marked one of the most significant shifts in Australian property and investment policy in decades.

While the headlines focus on tax reform, the broader implications reach much further – influencing investment incentives, lending markets, housing supply and long-term wealth strategy.

The rules surrounding tax, lending and property investment are changing.

Alex Galvin (Lead Broker – Nava Financial) and Chris Ayling (Chartered Accountant – Arum Advisory) unpack what these changes could mean for investors, first home buyers, business owners and borrowers in the years ahead.

In this webinar, we discuss:

  • How the proposed tax reforms may affect long-term tax planning and investment strategy
  • The growing role of specialist and secondary lenders
  • How government infrastructure spending influences housing demand and development
  • The impact of negative gearing changes on investor behaviour and new builds
  • Why coordinated planning between brokers and accountants is becoming increasingly important
  • Why SMSFs, and company structures are more relevant – and the risks to be aware of
  • Inflation, interest rates and the broader economic outlook

As policy settings evolve, strategic planning, lending structure and long-term decision-making will become more important than ever. Watch for a practical and strategic discussion on navigating the changing financial landscape and positioning yourself for the years ahead.
