NEW Postgraduates now eligible for free FPA Student membership

Part-time postgraduate students are now eligible for free student membership under new inclusions announced by the FPA. Students completing FASEA-approved postgraduate courses are invited to join the vibrant student member community and access key networking events, professional connections and resources.

Eligible students must not be on the Financial Adviser Register (FAR) or have been a paying FPA member in the last two years.

Why should you become a student member?

Not only is it free to join, as a student member of the FPA, you gain access to a ton of resources, networking opportunities and an increased chance of securing an internship or even a future job.

Why financial planning?

As a financial planner, you can earn a great salary and have the flexibility and freedom to work how you want – whether that’s with a small or large business, or setting up your own practice. With financial planners in demand around the world, working overseas is also an option too.

So, while you’re helping secure the financial future of others, you’ll also be developing the career you want, the way you want.
