How much does a financial planner cost in Australia?

Initial advice (Statement of Advice): $3,300-$5,500 typical, up to $8,000 for complex situations. Ongoing advice: $3,000-$8,000/year for $500k-$2M households. Hourly: $300-$600/hr. Robo-advice (Stockspot, Six Park): $50-$140/month. Many planners offer free 30-minute initial discovery calls before you commit. Fee structures matter: flat fees are typically better for clients than asset-based fees (which penalise portfolio growth) or commission-based fees (banned for most products since 2014).

How do I find a financial planner I can trust?

Verify on ASIC Financial Adviser Register (moneysmart.gov.au) — every licensed adviser is listed with qualifications, employment history, and any disciplinary action. Look for: CFP (Certified Financial Planner) or higher qualification, independent or non-aligned (not owned by a bank), upfront transparent fees, willingness to walk you through their fee structure, listening to your goals before recommending products. Avoid: anyone who recommends specific products before understanding your situation, "free" advice that's actually commission-based.

Should I trust my bank's financial planner?

Bank planners can be competent but face structural conflicts: limited product approval lists (often only their bank's in-house funds), pressure to meet sales targets, less competitive insurance pricing. Generally fine for: super consolidation, basic insurance review, mortgage-related advice. Independent planners are better for: complex investments, retirement strategy, aged care, estate planning, business owners. Always check the ASIC Financial Adviser Register to verify their qualifications and any past disciplinary actions.
