Overview

What shape will financial advice reform take in the next Parliament? How might technology impact its provision, and what’s in store for advice licensing? With reforms evolving in real time, how can we drive the best possible advice agenda?

Join policymakers, regulators, industry leaders and digital innovators at 'Shaping Advice in a Time of Change' - an absorbing symposium exploring how we can deliver in this crucial, high-demand space.

This tightly packed, day-long program will give you a first look at newly-commissioned FSC research on the future of advice licensing - a critical, yet often overlooked, pillar of the regulatory framework.

You’ll also hear from political and regulatory heavyweights as we unpack the post-election reform pathways, ASIC’s current priorities and insights into the volatile geopolitical landscape.
