Which advice service is right for me?
The best advice option for you will depend on how confident you are on the types and amounts of insurance you need, and the complexity of your advice needs. General Advice may be a great place to start if you just want to get a quote on AIA insurance. Alternatively, Personal Advice may be better suited to your needs if:
- You would like a Financial Planner to consider your individual circumstances and provide a tailored, personalised recommendation.
- You would like personalised advice on insurance, superannuation or wealth solutions.

Personal advice takes into consideration your personal goals, needs and objectives. Our financial planners can advise you in the following areas:

- superannuation
- investment planning, and
- business insurance.
We can recommend products from a range of providers on our approved product list, prepare a tailored advice document for you, and help you implement that advice.
We charge a fee for preparation of your advice document. For more information on pricing, please refer to our Personal Advice Financial Services Guide.

Our personal advice fees are scaled depending on the complexity of advice you are seeking. We pride ourselves on providing affordable, straightforward and quality advice for Australians.
Before providing personal advice, your financial planner will discuss the fees and payment options with you. These fees will be based on your individual circumstances, the complexity of your situation and the time it takes to prepare your personal financial advice.
Our personal advice fees typically range from $600 to $5000 + GST. If you direct us to make any amendments to your advice document an additional fee may be charged.
For more information on our fees, please refer to our Financial Services Guides for Personal Advice and General Advice.
Payments are processed in accordance with our Security Statement.

The performance indicators do not include sales revenue and the short term incentives have no link to the commission received from product providers or the fee amount you may pay for the advice they provide.
