Todd Woodbridge - Inviva's Official Brand Ambassador

Todd Woodbridge, brand ambassador for Inviva, has partnered with the home equity release lender to help Australians over 55 better understand how they can access the wealth tied up in their homes to support their retirement lifestyle.For many Australians approaching retirement, the family home represents their greatest asset. Yet for those often described as “asset rich but cash poor”, accessing that value without selling or downsizing can be difficult. Through his partnership with Inviva, Woodbridge is helping bring greater awareness to financial solutions that allow retirees to stay in the homes they love while unlocking additional funds.

Who is Todd Woodbridge?

For tennis fans, Todd Woodbridge, the tennis legend, needs little introduction. He enjoyed one of the most successful doubles careers in the history of the sport, winning 16 Grand Slam titles alongside partner Mark Woodforde as part of the legendary “Woodies” pairing.Since retiring from professional tennis, Woodbridge has remained closely connected to the sport. As a television commentator and presenter, he regularly appears during major tournaments such as the Australian Open and Wimbledon, offering expert insights drawn from decades of experience on the court.

Why Todd Woodbridge partnered with Inviva

Woodbridge has spoken openly about witnessing retirement planning challenges within his own family. Watching his parents explore alternatives to downsizing or selling their home helped him appreciate the importance of flexible financial options later in life.

What Inviva does for Australians over 55

Many Australians reach retirement owning their homes outright, but with limited available income. While their property may hold significant value, accessing those funds without selling can be challenging.

Inviva specialises in helping homeowners over 55 unlock some of the equity in their property through flexible lending solutions.

A home equity release loan, often referred to as a reverse mortgage, allows eligible homeowners to access the equity they have built in their home without needing to move out or sell the property. This can provide additional funds that support a range of retirement goals.

Funds accessed through a reverse mortgage can be used for many purposes, including:
  • Home renovations or accessibility upgrades
  • Travel and lifestyle experiences
  • Medical or healthcare expenses
  • Purchasing vehicles or lifestyle assets such as caravans
  • Covering everyday living costs in retirement
Depending on individual circumstances, funds may be accessed as a lump sum, regular monthly payments or through a flexible line of credit.

Helping retirees stay in the homes they love

Inviva was founded after its leadership team recognised a growing challenge among older Australians.

Many people have successfully achieved the dream of home ownership only to discover later that most of their wealth is tied up in their property. Accessing those funds through traditional lending options can become difficult once regular employment income stops.

Inviva’s co-founder, Kevin Wunsh, says the company was created to address this gap.“We wanted to create a solution that allowed over-55s to enjoy the retirement they have worked so hard to achieve. Many Australians have built significant equity in their homes but have limited access to that wealth in a practical way.”

Home equity release loans allow retirees to unlock some of that value while continuing to live in the communities they know and love.

How Todd Woodbridge is helping spread the message

Todd Woodbridge plays an important role in helping Australians understand how these financial solutions work. Through media appearances, online campaigns and public events, he helps explain home equity release options in clear, straightforward language.

Woodbridge’s involvement also highlights Inviva’s focus on education. Rather than promoting a single solution, the goal is to encourage Australians to explore their options and make informed choices about their financial future.

What this means for retirees

Retirement can mean different things to different people. Some Australians want the freedom to travel, support family members or renovate their homes. Others simply want greater financial comfort in everyday life.

What many retirees share is the desire to maintain independence while enjoying the next chapter of their lives.

Through the partnership between Todd Woodbridge and Inviva, more Australians are learning that the equity in their homes may provide new opportunities to support their retirement goals.

Home equity release loans are not suitable for everyone, but for homeowners over 55 who wish to remain in their property while accessing additional funds, they can be a valuable option to explore. With trusted voices like Todd Woodbridge raising awareness, more Australians are discovering that retirement can offer greater flexibility and possibilities than they might have imagined.
As with any financial product, homeowners should carefully consider their circumstances and may wish to seek independent financial advice before deciding whether a home equity release loan is right for them.
