Be careful not to give advice ...

Financial Services legislation prohibits unlicensed persons from giving any advice that takes into account an individual's objectives, financial situation or specific needs.

What can you do?

You can give employees factual information only, for example:

  • how superannuation works
  • factual tax information on superannuation
  • your company's default super fund including providing a Product Disclosure Statement issued by the fund

What can't you do?

You cannot make a recommendation or give an opinion that may influence a person's decision about a financial product unless you are licensed to do so.
