Under the proposed legislation, new financial advisers will be required to complete a degree, undertake a professional year and pass an exam. Existing advisers will be provided a transition process and will be required to meet degree-equivalent status (or have a recognised transition pathway determined by the independent standard setting body) and pass an exam. The new education requirements are expected to be effective from 1 July 2019, with existing advisers having to meet the new standards by 1 January 2024. Deakin Business School, DeakinPrime and DeakinDigital have joined forces, to support the commitment to increasing professional standards in the financial planning industry and supporting advisers on the journey to higher education. Deakin invites you to join us in transforming the financial planning industry into a true profession. DR ADRIAN RAFTERY COURSE DIRECTOR, FINANCIAL PLANNING 2 DEAKIN.EDU.AU/FINANCIAL-PLANNING
