Aeran is staying up to date and taking great interest in the ongoing reforms to improve the quality of financial advice delivered in Australia. We are proud of being independent, and believe that ideally all financial advice should be impartial, unbiased, without any potential for conflict of interest and solely with the client’s best interests at heart.

In the lead up to the March 2023 NSW election, Aeran’s Jane Campbell, in her role as NSW ALA Committee member, was able to be part of a delegation to meet with then NSW Attorney-General, Shadow Attorney-General and a member of the Greens Party. Jane spoke to our concerns about the statutory discount rate and the funding of the NSW Trustee & Guardian.

David Robertson and Jane Campbell of Aeran enjoyed attending the Australian Lawyers Alliance conference on the Gold Coast on 16-18 February 2023. Dave is always keen to stay up to date with developments in personal injury law, so that he is as well placed as possible to assist his clients.

Eight years of Aeran have flown by, as personal injury clients and lawyers have recognised the value of quality independent financial advice.

Higher NSW Trustee and Guardian fees from 1 January 2022 will make private management more viable for those claiming damages for personal injury including the cost of funds management. But action is needed for those who unfairly settled for less over the last six years.
