Financial Planning Research Journal

In 2015, we collaborated with Griffith Business School to launch the Financial Planning Research Journal, Australia’s first academic journal dedicated to financial planning.

This publication is very important for the financial planning profession. It provides a focal point for research around financial planning that is used to inform debate and policy, and ultimately raise standards across the profession.

Published online via the Sciendo website, the journal incorporates peer-reviewed academic articles covering the full spectrum of the financial planning profession, with Griffith University and Western Sydney University providing the editorial services.

Financial Planning Research Journal Call for Papers: Special issue on:
“Advancing Financial Resilience to achieve Financial Security and Well-Being Through Financial Planning”

The editorial board of the Financial Planning Research Journal (FPRJ) is calling for paper submissions for an upcoming special issue on “Advancing Financial Resilience, to achieve Financial Security and Well-Being Through Financial Planning”.

We invite submissions from academics and practitioners worldwide to contribute to this significant dialogue. Financial planners, and more broadly professionals providing financial advice, play a critical role in helping individuals and families navigate uncertainty, adapt to major life events and transitions, and build sustainable financial futures.

As economic volatility, demographic shifts, and evolving client needs continue to reshape the financial planning landscape, there is a growing need to better understand how financial planning can foster long-term financial resilience, and in turn, how financial resilience can lead to improved financial security and overall well-being.
