Choosing a Financial Adviser for Retirement in Australia
Retirement financial planning involves complex decisions around superannuation drawdown, the Age Pension means test, aged care funding and estate planning. Choosing an adviser with genuine expertise in these areas is essential.
Check ASIC's Financial Adviser Register
All licensed financial advisers must be registered on ASIC's Financial Adviser Register (moneysmart.gov.au/financial-advice/financial-advisers-register). Always verify your adviser is registered and check their qualifications and history before engaging.
Questions to Ask a Retirement Adviser
- Are you a specialist in aged care financial advice?
- How do you charge — fee for service or commission?
- Do you hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL)?
- Can you provide examples of retirement income strategies you've implemented?
