Do We Have Enough Financial Advisers?
With significant announcements this week with the end goal of making sure all Australians can get access to advice, we ask whether we have enough financial advisers today.

We have analysed the number of Australians who may need advice, how many appointments this could generate, and then calculate how many appointments this would be on a per-adviser basis.
