MenuThe FAAA congratulates Hon Kevin Hogan MP, the Federal member for Page in Northern NSW, on his appointment as shadow assistant treasurer and minister for financial services.
Sarah Abood, CEO of the FAAA, says Mr Hogan’s professional background in financial services will give him insight into Australians’ financial advice needs as well as those of the financial advice community.
“Our priority is to ensure bi-partisan support for key priorities such as growing the financial advice profession, fixing the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort, and improving the accessibility and affordability of advice.
“We look forward to engaging with Mr Hogan as we continue to work towards a stronger and more sustainable financial advice framework, ensuring more Australians are able to achieve financial wellbeing.
“In Mr Hogan’s electorate of Page, FAAA members support over 3,000 clients. The region also has an ageing population, so we know that issues around retirement and financial security are front of mind.
“We also thank outgoing shadow minister Pat Conaghan and his staff for their engagement and interest in the issues affecting our profession,” Abood says. “Pat’s real understanding of a complex portfolio and commitment to engaging with the wide range of stakeholders in financial services ensured he worked effectively across the Parliament to progress reform.”
