What to know about Financial advisors
In Australia, personal advice on investments, superannuation and life insurance can only be given by someone authorised under an Australian Financial Services licence, and that person must appear on the Financial Advisers Register. ASIC manages the register and publishes it on the Moneysmart website. If an adviser is not on it, they cannot legally give you personal advice on those products.
