Early bird tickets to the Financial Advice Association Australia’s (FAAA) 2025 roadshow series will close on Friday 14 February.
The roadshows will take place across Australia, visiting metro and regional areas between 4 March and 3 April.
FAAA CEO Sarah Abood will give a presentation on upcoming projects in 2025, while chair David Sharpe CFPâ and deputy chair Michelle Veitch will give an update from the FAAA board. In addition, general manager of policy, advocacy & standards Phil Anderson will run a session on the FAAA’s current priorities, including the inquiry into the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort (CSLR).
Other key sessions include:
- “Protecting the Vulnerable: tackling financial abuse with ethics and action” with Greg Cunningham CFPâ from Cunningham Financial Services, who is currently completing a PhD focused on guardianship roles for financial advisers to mitigate elder financial abuse. In his session, Mr Cunningham will look at the role advisers can play as protectors and advocates of elderly clients
- “Collaborative Advice” with Sophie Atkinson CFPâ of Visualise Wealth, who will talk about how to effectively collaborate with other professionals – including lawyers, accountants and therapists – to achieve better outcomes for clients, particularly those with complex needs.
FAAA’s general manager of membership Tania Milnes says the full-day events are designed to help advisers build their professional knowledge and also network with peers.
“Our roadshow series is an opportunity for both members and non-members to hear the latest developments in the financial advice profession, and learn from others who are facing similar challenges. The program features a range of great content designed by advisers for advisers, and is equally of value to key support roles such as practice managers and paraplanners.,” Ms Milnes said.
