The Rask Retirement Academy is a comprehensive 10-part online course designed for Australians aged 50+ who are starting to think seriously about retirement but may feel underprepared – financially or otherwise.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by jargon, unsure where to start, or wondering how your super, pension, property, and investments fit together, this course is here to help you take control and build a retirement plan grounded in confidence and clarity – not fear.
Led by qualified financial professionals and backed by the trusted Rask Education team, the Rask Retirement Academy covers everything from understanding your personal balance sheet to building a lasting retirement income, knowing when and how to access your super, goal-setting, and applying real-world strategies that are often reserved for paying clients.
With practical tools, video explainers, downloadable spreadsheets, real-life retiree voices, and a step-by-step roadmap, this course is everything we wish every Australian had access to – regardless of wealth.
The Rask Retirement Academy is designed for:
- Everyday Australians – who may not meet the asset threshold for personalised advice but want to take ownership of their financial future in retirement.
- Pre-retirees aged 50–55 – looking for clarity on how much they need, when they can retire, and how to get from A to B confidently.
- People relying partly or fully on the Age Pension – who want to understand how it works, what they’re entitled to, and how to structure their finances to make the most of it.
- Homeowners unsure how property fits into their plan – especially those “asset rich, cash poor” households trying to navigate downsizing, investing, or renting.
- Super members – who know they have a super fund but aren’t sure if it’s the right one, or how to optimise it in the final stretch before retirement.
- Late starters – those who feel like it’s “too late” to build wealth, but want to learn what levers they can still pull to improve their quality of life.
- Sceptics of financial jargon – if you’ve ever left a conversation about retirement feeling more confused than when you started, this course is built for you.
What you’ll get:
- A 10-week online course covering retirement planning from the ground up
- Short, engaging video lessons and optional quizzes to test your knowledge
- Downloadable tools, checklists, calculators, and retirement budget planners
- A “retirement readiness” checklist on completion
- The Rask stamp of independence: no product pushing, just real education
- Clear definitions and plain-English breakdowns of key terms
You don’t need a finance degree to make better money decisions. You just need the right course, the right mindset, and a little bit of guidance.
Let’s make your next chapter your best one yet.
