How it works...

The membership is a service, not just a system so there is nothing to learn or implement. We're here to support how you do business.

Your membership includes access to the member portal for your team* including help desk support**, the newsletter and updates, CPD management for all, and one CPD subscription to get you started. Did we mention there are no lock-in contracts?

After sign-on, you are billed on the first working day of each month. If the service doesn’t work for you, that’s fine, just let member services know and we’ll stop billing you and close out your access at the end of the month (you get to keep access and use of the CPD management tools).

Want to chat? Give James Scott a call on 0474 356 174.

The best way to see if the financial advice membership is right for you is to book in a tour. In 15 mins or so, you’ll know.

Technical Help Desk.
Technical support across multiple specialisations

One place for the answers you need when you need them - tax, super (advice, compliance, SMSF), aged care, compliance, ethics - we cover it.

No more ‘phone a friend’ generalisations, or spending time researching answers. Leave it to our specialist team to give you what you need.

And because the membership is for your firm, your more junior team members can get a resolution from us rather than piling up at your door.

All Q&As are tracked and your history of answers accessible on the portal.

Skills focussed adviser CPD

Adviser CPD is about building skills, learning new knowledge, expanding ideas – not ticking a box for the regulator. Your brain is like a muscle so let’s help your cerebrum ‘buff up’.

Even topics you have to get across like compliance and ethics should have a practical impact that adds value. Anything less is a waste of your time.

Membership provides access to on-demand adviser CPD. We take a practical, often case study approach because as Aristotle said, “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them”… and it’s a whole lot less boring.

And, all of your CPD is accredited, tracked and your CPD certificate accessible for download.

  • Share with your AFSL
For your firm's managers
