ADVICE MATTERS – Recruit 2 Advice
Recruit 2 Advice | Financial Planning & AFSL Market Update | 2026
Foreword - Dugald Braithwaite, Director R2A
The Australian financial advice market continues to evolve quickly. Adviser supply is improving at the edges, but the structural pipeline challenge remains. Private practice ownership, licensee change, outsourcing, technology adoption and persistent salary pressure are now connected themes for AFSL leaders.
This edition of Advice Matters brings together five recent R2A articles and the 2026 salary data update to help practice owners, licensees and advice professionals read the market with greater clarity.
The focus is deliberately practical: talent supply, adviser retention, salary benchmarking, behavioural finance, and what the next generation of clients and advisers may require from the industry.
