General Advice
General Advice relates to financial products or investments that can be obtained from an individual that holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or similarly works for a company that has an AFSL.
The advice is classified as general information provided to a client on a particular product or strategy but does not take into account the clients’ personal financial circumstances.
Furthermore, for general advice the individual will receive a current Financial Services Guide (FSG) from their adviser at the first meeting and if a product is discussed, a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for each product will be provided if strategies are discussed, and a relevant client fact sheets will also be provided.
Individuals seeking to provide Tier 2 compliant advice on General Insurance products are required to successfully complete the Insurance course as General Advice.
