The Newcastle Adviser Changing Lives, One Family at a Time
Why more Australians are turning to Matthew McCabe for clarity, care, and life changing financial strategy
In a world where most people feel overwhelmed by money and under supported by the professionals who are meant to guide them, one Newcastle adviser is quietly rewriting the standard.
Matthew McCabe, Director and Financial Adviser at Newcastle Advisors, has become the trusted voice for everyday Australians who want more than a spreadsheet and a pat on the back. They want clarity, empathy, and a strategy that protects their family through every season of life.
Matt has built a reputation as the adviser you call when life gets hard. When your income stops due to a medical event. When you are made redundant in your fifties and have no idea what comes next. When you are caring for ageing parents across two countries. When you have debt, kids, stress, and absolutely no time to figure out how it all fits together.
This is where Matt steps in, and this is where he shines.
Advocating for those who need it most
A large part of Matt’s work focuses on supporting Australians who have been medically retired or are navigating workers compensation and TPD claims. These are some of the toughest chapters a person can face, and often people are overwhelmed with forms, insurers, lawyers, and financial consequences that feel impossible to navigate.
Matt becomes the calm in the storm.
He helps clients replace lost income, protect their long term financial security, structure compensation payouts, understand Centrelink rules, and make decisions without fear. Families describe feeling “lighter” after speaking with him, because he does not just build a plan, he gives them back their sense of direction.
Championing men's mental health through action
Beyond the office, Matt is the force behind the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Long Lunch, an event dedicated to supporting men through life transition, retirement, identity shifts, and mental health challenges.
It is not a corporate conference. It is a community, designed to give men a safe place to talk, learn, connect, laugh, and feel supported. Many of the men who attend have been medically retired, are struggling with change, or have simply lost their sense of purpose.
Matt’s commitment is personal. He has sat with countless men in his career who were carrying stress silently. The Long Lunch is his way of saying you do not have to carry it alone.
Financial advice that is actually human
Matt believes advice should be simple, honest, and strategic. No jargon, no pressure, no product flogging.
He focuses on the big picture, helping people
• understand where they are now
• define where they want to be
• and reverse engineer the path to get there
If life throws a curveball, the plan recalculates. He describes his role like a GPS. He guides, he adjusts, he keeps you moving toward your destination.
Clients say they feel understood, not judged. They feel supported, not sold to. They feel like they finally have someone in their corner who cares about their outcome as much as they do.
Helping families break the cycle of poor financial literacy
Matt is deeply passionate about educating everyday Australians. Not just the wealthy, but families who never had financial guidance growing up. He produces podcasts, events, videos, articles, and social content that break down complex topics into simple, practical advice.
His philosophy is straightforward.
Good advice is not expensive. Bad decisions are.
Why people trust Matt with their financial future
People work with Matt because:
• he listens, properly
• he explains things without making you feel silly
• he gives advice that feels achievable
• he focuses on strategy first, not products
• he understands the emotional side of money
• he cares about the human, not just the numbers
In an industry full of noise, Matt has built something rare. A practice built on empathy, intelligence, and genuine care.
For Australians looking to gain clarity, reduce stress, and build a future they can feel proud of, Matthew McCabe is quickly becoming the adviser people trust to help them get there.
