Over 2k members registered for FPA’s national roadshows

Held in locations around Australia throughout April and May, the events gave members the opportunity to hear about the latest legislation impacting their profession and to workshop solutions with peers.

“After a one-year pause on live events following COVID, the FPA is thrilled to be on the road again meeting up with our members face-to-face,” FPA chief executive Dante De Gori CFP said.

“The roadshows provided valuable opportunity to engage with our members, helping them navigate changes which continue to impact our profession.”

Members who attended the events were informed about FPA’s five-year policy agenda , which included confirmation that the royal commission recommendation to ban adviser fees from MySuper has successfully been overturned.

Meanwhile, the roadshows have also seen the launch of a new best practice guide on providing risk advice.

Developed ahead of the government’s Life Insurance Framework review later in the year, the FPA Life Risk Advice Guide has been set up to improve insurance outcomes for consumers and “importantly maps all of a member’s regulatory obligations into a single and easy to understand document”.

“The guide is aimed to provide our members with the tools and support to help them continue to deliver quality advice,” Mr De Gori said.

The roadshows will continue in Queensland and the ACT in June.
