Personalised Planning with Structure & Care
Using a clear, methodical process, we prioritise work ethic and transparency. Each engagement begins with an in-depth meeting to discuss goals, income and financial circumstances.
Information is collected and verified before being analysed using financial planning software that models potential strategies. All recommendations are compiled in a formal Statement of Advice, which outlines the reasoning, data and compliance references used.
Our advisers make certain that you fully understand each recommendation before any action is taken. Ongoing reviews are offered to reassess performance, legislation updates and life changes.
Midcoast Financial Planning Group’s Taree office maintains a consistent commitment to communication, education and record-keeping at every stage of the advice process. Every plan is documented and managed for clarity, accuracy and alignment with current regulatory obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications should a financial adviser have in Australia?
Financial advisors in Australia must hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or operate under one as an authorised representative. They are also required to meet education and ethical standards set by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Many advisors pursue additional qualifications such as the Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP) designation, which demonstrates advanced knowledge and professional commitment. Clients can verify an advisor’s credentials through the ASIC Financial Adviser Register before engaging their services.
What is the difference between a financial planner and a financial adviser?
The terms financial planner and financial adviser are often used interchangeably, but a financial planner typically focuses on developing long-term strategies that address multiple areas such as retirement, superannuation, and estate planning. A financial adviser may focus on specific financial products or short-term guidance. Both must be licensed and compliant under ASIC’s regulations, ensuring that advice provided is in the client’s best interests and supported by appropriate documentation.
How do financial advisers get paid?
Financial advisers may charge fixed fees, hourly rates, or percentage-based fees depending on the complexity of the advice provided. All costs must be disclosed in writing before services begin, as required under ASIC regulations. Advisers are prohibited from receiving undisclosed commissions on financial products. Clients receive a Fee Disclosure Statement (FDS) that outlines all charges, ensuring transparency and allowing them to make informed decisions about ongoing services.
