The ASU and ACTU Member Connect recognise that it is very difficult for union members to know where to go when seeking financial advice. There are so many organisations and individuals offering financial and investment advice that it becomes a major headache to pick one or more that are right for you.
In recognition of this need, ACTU Member Connect has over the past few years selected a number of organisations providing financial advice that have the capacity and the willingness to provide financial advice to union members. These organisations are all licensed to provide financial advice under the Corporations Act.
In doing so, and in conjunction with those organisations, ACTU Member Connect has identified a number of individuals within those organisations who have been approved as endorsed advisers. Each individual is authorised by their organisation to provide financial advice.
