- Are you an independent financial adviser?
SuperGuide has always recognised that financial advice can add significant value to your retirement plans, so long as it’s truly independent, free from conflicts of interest and in the best interests of the clients.
The challenge is finding it. With that in mind, we’ve been tracking Australia’s independent financial advisers since 2010 and compiled a national directory to save you some of the legwork.
But before we get to the list, it needs pointing out that not just any adviser can declare they are independent. There are rigorous standards that must be complied with.
What makes a financial adviser ‘independent’?
According to ASIC, which regulates all Australian financial advisers:
Under [Section 923A of] the Corporations Act, a person who carries on a financial services business or provides a financial service is prohibited from using the terms ‘independent’, ‘impartial’ or ‘unbiased’, or any other term ‘of like import’ in relation to the business or service except where the person meets certain conditions, such as not receiving any commissions, volume-based payments or other gifts or benefits.
Most of the financial advisers listed below belong to the Profession of Independent Financial Advisers (PIFA), formerly known as the Independent Financial Advisers Association of Australia (IFAAA), which requires all members to meet the following criteria:
- No ownership links or affiliations with product manufacturers. Impartiality is impossible where an adviser has links to a product manufacturer. Ownership links create an environment where the adviser resembles, at best, a well-intentioned salesperson.
- No commissions or incentive payments from product manufacturers. Commissions are payments made by product manufacturers to their distribution network. They create a conflict of interest between advisers and their clients.
- No asset-based fees. Asset fees, although authorised by the client, are calculated on the volume of business an adviser places with a product manufacturer. (On this basis, advisers who receive a percentage fee from an administration platform or wrap can’t describe themselves as independent.) Asset fees are incentives that prevent an adviser from being impartial and therefore create a conflict of interest between adviser and client.
President of PIFA Daniel Brammall has also described how to identify an independent financial adviser in the SuperGuide article What makes a financial adviser independent?
The list below includes financial advisers who are not members of the PIFA but who have signed a declaration that they only charge fees for service, and do not receive any remuneration from:
- Commissions
- Trailing commissions
- Asset-based fees for service, including trailing income or fees based on a percentage of assets under management
- Bonuses (of whatever description)
- Conflicted remuneration as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) pt 7.7A div 4
- Any other form of monetary or non-monetary remuneration that could reasonably give rise to a conflict between my interests and the interests of my clients.
The financial advisers listed below that are not members of the PIFA have signed a similar declaration, which you can see here.

Are you an independent financial adviser?
If you’re an independent financial adviser that would like to be included on this list, please follow the instructions here.
This is a great service that SuperGuide provides.
The difficulty is that only very few advisers qualify.
I have been told that the very tight definition of ‘independent’ was engineered by the banks in order to minimise competition.
If anyone who *could* offer truly independent advice because they are not connected with a insurance or investment provider (including no in-house products) was allowed to call themselves ‘independent’, as they allow in many other countries, then the banks and AMP would have competition from more than just the few advisers on this list.
Declaration: I am a financial adviser. I accept insurance commissions and so-called asset-based fees, where my income goes up and down with the client’s investments. Otherwise I could call myself ‘independent’.
