Verifying registration and authorisations
Every financial adviser shown for Berserker, Queensland is sourced from the ASIC Financial Advisers Register, the only authoritative source of licensed advisers in Australia. Each entry includes the adviser's registration number, primary qualifications, the products they're authorised to advise on (superannuation, life insurance, securities, derivatives), and the licensee they operate under. Advisers must meet professional standards set by ASIC and complete the FASEA exam. Registration status changes can be verified at any time through MoneySmart's professional registers tool. Tax (financial) advice authorisation, granted separately by the Tax Practitioners Board, is shown where applicable — only advisers cleared by the TPB can charge for tax-related strategies. Listing on this directory is not an endorsement; it reflects what the public ASIC register shows on the date of last refresh.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a financial adviser is registered?
All registered financial advisers in Berserker, Queensland appear on ASIC's Financial Advisers Register at moneysmart.gov.au. Each entry shows the registration number, current authorisations, qualifications and any disciplinary history. Confirm the registration is 'Current' before engaging — checking is free and the register is updated by ASIC.
What's the difference between a financial adviser and a financial planner?
In Australia both terms refer to the same regulated role under ASIC. A 'financial planner' typically holds a Certified Financial Planner® designation through the Financial Planning Association. Both must be listed on the ASIC Financial Advisers Register and meet the same Best Interests Duty under the Corporations Act.
Are initial consultations with financial advisers free?
Most financial advisers in Berserker, Queensland offer a free initial consultation — typically 30–60 minutes — to discuss your goals and whether they can help. You do not pay anything until you receive and sign a Statement of Advice. Ongoing fees vary by adviser and the complexity of the advice.
What should I bring to a first meeting with a financial adviser?
Bring recent payslips, super statements, mortgage and loan balances, insurance policies, your will and superannuation beneficiary nominations, and a written list of goals. The adviser uses this to complete a fact-find. They cannot give personal advice without understanding your circumstances — incomplete information leads to generic, less useful recommendations.
